Application

The Temposonics

®

sensor is used for measurement and conversion
of the length (position) variable in the field of automated system and
mechanical engineering.

Principle of operation and system construction

For position measurement, the absolute, linear Temposonics

®

position
sensors make use of the properties offered by the specially designed
magnetostrictive waveguide. Inside the sensor a torsional strain pulse
is induced in the waveguide by momentary interaction of two magnet­ic fields. The interaction between these two magnetic fields produc­es a strain pulse, which is detected by the electronics at the head of
the sensor. One field is produced by a moving position magnet, which
travels along the sensor rod with the waveguide inside. The other field
is generated by a current pulse applied to the waveguide. The position
of the moving magnet is determined precisely by measuring the time
elapsed between the application of the current pulse and the arrival
of the strain pulse at the sensor head. The result is a reliable position
measurement with high accuracy and repeatability.

Fig. 1: Principle of operation: Time-based magnetostrictive position sensing principle

Modular mechanical and electronic construction

– The sensor housing protects the sensor element.
– The sensor electronics housing, a rugged aluminum

construction, contains the complete electronic interface with
active signal conditioning.

– The external position magnet is a permanent magnet. Mounted

on the mobile machine part, it travels along the sensing element and

triggers the measurement through the housing wall.
– Depending on the type, the sensor is connected to the controller via a plug.
– The sensor can be connected directly to a control system.

Its electronics generates a strictly position-proportional signal

output between zero and end position.

4.2 Styles and installation of R-Series RP

Temposonics

®

RP offers modular construction, flexible mounting configurations and easy installation. Position measurement is non-contact

via two versions of permanent magnets.

• A sliding magnet running in profile housing rails. Connection with the moving machine part is via a ball jointed arm for taking up axial forces.

• A floating magnet, mounted directly on the moving machine part, travels over the profile at a low distance. Its air-gap allows the correction
of small misalignments at installation.

4.2.1 Mounting distances

Active measuring range

The technical data of each sensor is checked as well as documented
and the active stroke length (useful electrical stroke) with its start
and end position is adjusted during final inspection and testing
(see Fig. 2).

NOTICE

On all sensors, the areas left and right of the active stroke length
are provided for mounting and damping of the measuring signal.
They should not be used for measurement, but the active stroke
length can be exceeded without problem.

Mechanical zero

To ensure that the entire measuring range can be used electrically,
the position magnet must be mounted mechanically as follows:

The minimum distance between the magnets is 75 mm (3 in.).

4.2.3 Magnet mounting

Mounting the U-magnet

The U-magnet is removable and can be used for profile- and rod-style
sensors. Using a non-magnetizable mounting device is mandatory.
The magnet must not rub against the measuring rod. Alignment errors
are compensated via the air gap.
– Max. surface pressure: 40 N/mm

– Max. tightening torque for M4 screws: 1 Nm;

use washer, if necessary

4.2.2 Installation of RP

The position sensor can be installed in any position. Normally,
the sensor is firmly installed and the position magnet is fastened
to the mobile machine part. Thus it can travel along the measuring
rod contactlessly.

The sensor is fitted on a flat machine surface using the mounting
clamps (fig. 7). A length-dependent number of these clamps are
delivered with the sensor and must be distributed over the profile
at regular distances.

For fastening, we recommend using M5×20 screws to DIN 6912
that shout be tightened with a maximum torque of 5 Nm.

Fig. 7: Mounting clamps with cylinder screw M5×20, fastening torque < 5 Nm

Alternative: If only limited space is available, the profile sensor can be mounted also via

the T-rail in the profile bottom using an M5 T-slot nut or a sliding block (fig. 8).

Fig. 8: T-slot nuts M5

NOTICE

Don’t mount the sensors in the area of strong magnetic or electric
noise fields. Take care to mount the sensor in an axially parallel
position to avoid damaging the carriage, magnet and measuring rod.

The sensor is isolated from the machine ground. For this reason,
earthing via the flat-pin connector on the sensor electronics housing
is indispensable (fig. 9).

4.3.2 Installation of RH

Installation of a rod-style sensor

The rod-style version has been developed for direct stroke
measurement in a fluid cylinder.

– Mounted on the bottom of the piston, the ring magnet travels

over the rod contactlessly and marks the position exactly through
the rod wall.

– Inside the pressure-resistant sensor housing immerging into the

open piston rod, the basic sensor is mounted by means of only
two screws. It is the only part that needs replacing if servicing is
required, i.e. the hydraulic circuit remains closed.

NOTICE

After re-installing, securing the basic sensor screws, e.g. using
Loctite 243, is mandatory.

Hydraulics sealing

There are two ways for sealing the flange contact surface:

1. A sealing by using an O-ring (e.g. 22.4×2.65 mm) in a cylinder
bottom groove (fig. 16).

2. A sealing via an 15.3×2.2 mm O-ring (for metric thread flange) or

0.644" x 0.087" O-ring (for SAE thread flange) in the undercut (fig.

15). In this case, a screw hole based on ISO 6149-1 (fig. 17) must be
provided.

– The flange contact surface must be seated completely on the

cylinder mounting surface.

– The cylinder manufacturer determines the pressure-resistant

gasket (copper gasket, O-ring, etc.).
– The position magnet should not rub against the rod.
– The plunger borehole (Ø 10 mm rod: > Ø 13 mm (Ø 0.52 in.) Ø 12.7

mm rod: > 16 mm (0.63 in.)) depends on the pressure and piston

speed.
– The peak pressure should not be exceeded.
– Protect the measuring rod against wear.

Large stroke lengths from 1 meter (39 in.)
Horizontally installed sensors should be supported mechanically at the
rod end. Longer rods require evenly distributed mechanical support
over the entire length. In this case an U-magnet (see fig. 19) is used
for measurement.

NOTICE

A maximum permissible air gap of 3 ±1mm (0.12 in.) must not be
exceeded.

4.3.3 Magnet mounting

Mounting the ring magnet

Install the magnet using non-magnetizable material for mounting
device, screws, spacers etc.
– Max. permissible surface pressure: 40 N/mm

– Max. fastening torque for M4 screws: 1 Nm; use washers, if necessary

Mounting the U-magnet

Using a non-magnetizable mounting device is mandatory. The magnet
must not rub against the measuring rod. Alignment errors are com­pensated via the air gap.
– Max. surface pressure: 40 N/mm

2

– Max. fastening torque for M4 screws: 1 Nm;

use washer, if necessary

NOTICE

For mounting by means of screws, use only a hexagonal flange
width across flats 46 mm (1.8 in.) below the sensor electronics
housing (electronics) and avoid exceeding the maximum fastening
torque of 50 Nm

(for RH-J: 125 Nm).
