Start- and end positions of the position magnets
Consider the start and end positions of the position magnets during
the installation. To ensure that the entire stroke length is electrical-
ly usable, the position magnet must be mechanically mounted as fol-
lows.

Controlling design dimensions are in millimeters and measurements in ( ) are in inches
NOTICE
On all sensors, the areas left and right of the active stroke length are
provided for null and dead zone. These zones should not be used for
measurement, however the active stroke length can be exceeded.

Differential measurement
For a differential measurement two positions are measured on the
sensor rod or sensor profile. The distance between these positions will
be output.
RP5 with U-magnets
≥ 75 (≥ 3)
RP5 with magnet sliders
≥ 75 (≥ 3)
RP5 with block magnets
≥ 75 (≥ 3)
RH5 with ring magnets/U-magnets

Fig. 19: Minimum distance between magnets for differential measurement
NOTICE
Do not go below a minimal distance of 75 mm (3 in.) between
the magnets for differential measurement
3
. Use magnets of the
same type (e.g. 2 × U-magnet, part no. 251 416-2) for differential
measurement.
3/
Contact MTS Sensors if you need a magnet distance, which is smaller than 75 mm (3 in.).
