Introduction
The Micropulse Absolute Quadrature Output linear transducer is a magnetostrictive linear displacement
transducer that provides electrical output signals in ABZ quadrature format.
In addition to providing industry-standard quadrature output signals, the Micropulse Absolute Quadrature
transducer provides absolute position information through its innovative BURST function. Upon request
from the PLC or controller, the transducer sends a burst of pulses equal to absolute position of the marker
magnet. This eliminates any need to perform a physical re-homing procedure after a power loss (see p. 8
for details on using BURST mode).
The Micropulse Absolute Quadrature transducer is available in two form factors:
The
Z
rod style is designed for use in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders.
The stainless steel pressure tube is rated for 8700 psi, and the mounting
threads (3/4-16 UNF or M18 x 1.5) allow the
Z
style to be integrated into
specially prepared cylinders. A donut-shaped or slotted magnet, attached
to the piston face, provides position feedback. The
Z
style can also be
used for external-mount applications.
The
P
profile style’s rugged extruded aluminum housing makes it a perfect
choice for external-mount applications. Either a free-floating magnet or a
captive, sliding magnet can be used – offering maximum flexibility to meet
the needs of a wide variety of applications.
