4.4 Magnet installation
Rod sensors with stroke lengths ≥ 1 meter (3.3 ft.)
Support horizontally installed sensors with a stroke length from 1 meter
(3.3 ft.) mechanically at the rod end. Without the use of a support, rod
and position magnet may be damaged. A false measurement result is
also possible. Longer rods require evenly distributed mechanical support
over the entire length (e.g. part no. 561 481). Use an U-magnet (Fig. 16)
for measurement.
NOTICE
Mount ring magnets and U-magnets concentrically.
Mount block magnets centrically over the sensor rod or the sensor
profile. The maximum permissible air gap must not be exceeded
(Fig. 13/Fig. 14). Take care to mount the primary sensor axis in
parallel to the magnet path in order to avoid damage to the carriage,
magnet and sensor rod/sensor profile.
Controlling design dimensions are in millimeters and measurements in ( ) are in inches
Fig. 12: Typical use of magnets
Mounting ring magnets, U-magnets & block magnets
Install the magnet using non-magnetic material for mounting
device, screws, spacers etc.. The magnet must not grind on
the sensor rod. Alignment errors are compensated via the air gap.
• Permissible surface pressure: Max. 40 N/mm

(only for ring
magnets and U-magnets)
• Fastening torque for M4 screws: 1 Nm; use washers, if necessary
• Minimum distance between position magnet and any magnetic
material has to be 15 mm (0.6 in.) (Fig. 15).
• If no other option exists and magnetic material is used,
observe the specified dimensions (Fig. 15).
Magnet mounting with magnetic material
When using magnetic material the dimensions of Fig. 15 must
be observed.
A. If the position magnet aligns with the drilled piston rod
B. If the position magnet is set further into the drilled piston rod,
install another non-magnetic spacer (e.g. part no. 400 633) above
the magnet.
