Sensor adaption to Round Rod and Cylinder
In order to adapt the MTM-A-000 sensor to the cylinder and round rod by the customer, various mechanical
solutions are conceivable. The following figure shows a few examples of possible mechanical integration into the
entire system:

a)
Flange ring with holder for integrated sensor system (without sensor housing)
b)
Mounting ring for integrated sensor system (without sensor housing)
c)
Mounting ring for MTM-A-000 with standard sensor housing (
d)
Identical to c) but in reverse mounting direction
On request and at an extra charge, the required mechanical accessories for sensor adaptation can be provided
by ELGO Electronic GmbH & Co. KG.
Since a specified maximum reading distance between sensor and round rod must not be exceeded for contact-
less scanning, the mounting tolerances described in section
8.3.1 must be observed and adhered to. Other-
wise, the measuring system cannot work correctly.

Integration Example
The following figure shows an example for the adaptation of an MTM-A-000 in the standard sensor housing
with a mounting ring, as suggested above under c):
