Product overview
The M-Series Model MH sensor is designed with the “mobile” world
in mind. The Model MH sensor is validated in the field by customers
worldwide. Performance is second-to-none with high EMI resistance
of 200 V/m. Ruggedness is “designed in”; 100 g shock and 25 g vibration rating. The model MH CAN Safety sensor can be fully sealed and
embedded in a cylinder to ensure a long operating life.
The absolute, non-contact Temposonics position sensor with CAN
Safety reaches a level of 95% for SFF at a fault to ground of 0 for the
hardware. Since they are approved for SIL 2 level, they have an average probability for Failure (PFH) in the range of ≥10
A SIL Safety manual and direct connection to the Temposonics
M12x1 connector system and other proven mobile connectors are
available.
