Intended use
The BTL magnetostrictive linear position sensor, together
with a machine controller (e.g. PLC), comprises a position
measuring system. It is intended to be installed into a
machine or system and used in the industrial sector.
Flawless function in accordance with the specifications in
the technical data is ensured only when using original
Balluff accessories. Use of any other components will void
the warranty.
Opening the BTL or non-approved use are not permitted
and will result in the loss of warranty and liability claims
against the manufacturer.
General safety notes
Installation
and
startup
may only be performed by
trained specialists.
The
operator
is responsible for ensuring that local safety
regulations are observed. In particular, the operator must
take steps to ensure that a defect in the BTL will not result
in hazards to persons or equipment.
If defects and unresolvable faults occur in the BTL, take it
out of service and secure against unauthorized use.

Dimensions and function
The BTL contains the waveguide which is protected by an
outer stainless steel tube (rod). A magnet is moved along
the waveguide. This magnet is connected to the system
part whose position is to be determined.
The magnet defines the position to be measured on the
waveguide.
Installation
NOTICE!
Interference in function
Improper installation can compromise the function of the
BTL and result in increased wear.
►
The mounting surface of the BTL must make full
contact with the supporting surface.
►
The bore must be perfectly sealed (O-ring/flat seal).
Screw the BTL with mounting thread into the mounting
hole (max. torque 100 Nm).
Radial cable outlet
During installation, the direction of the cable
outlet is determined by the thread.
For horizontal assembly with nominal lengths > 500 mm,
support the rod and tighten it at the end if necessary (only
possible with a diameter of 10.2 mm).
If installed in a hydraulic cylinder, the magnet should not
make contact with the rod. Minimum bore diameter in the
support piston:
