4.5 Alignment of the magnet with the option “Internal lineariza-
tion”
The internal linearization offers improved linearity of the sensor. The
option must be specified in the order code of the sensor. The internal
linearization is set for the sensor during production.
A sensor with internal linearization is delivered with the magnet with
which the sensor was aligned during production. In order to achieve
the best possible result, MTS Sensors recommends to operate the
sensor with the supplied magnet.
For the internal linearization, the following magnets can be used:
• Ring magnet OD33 (part no. 253 620), only for RH5
• U-magnet OD33 (part no. 254 226)
• Ring magnet OD25.4 (part no. 253 621), only for RH5
• Magnet slider S (part no. 252 182), only for RP5
• Magnet slider N (part no. 252 183), only for RP5
• Magnet slider V (part no. 252 184), only for RP5
• Magnet slider G (part no. 253 421), only for RP5
The ring magnet and U-magnet will be marked for the internal linear-
ization. During the installation, the magnets have to be aligned
to the sensor electronic housing, see Fig. 20, Fig. 21 and Fig. 22.
For RH5 SSI sensors with ring magnet applies:
• Install the magnet until the marking on the magnet points to the
sensor electronics housing.
• The marking on the magnet points to the same direction as the
screw in the lid of the sensor electronics housing, which is located
right of the status LED.

For RP5 SSI sensors with U-magnet applies:
• Install the magnet until the marking on the magnet points to the
sensor electronics housing.
• The marking on the magnet points to the same direction as the
screw in the lid of the sensor electronics housing, which is located
right of the status LED.

NOTICE
The generated linearization might deviate from the linearity toleranc-
es regarding different environmental conditions. In addition, the use
of a different position magnet or more position magnets may cause
differences.

For RP5 SSI sensors with magnet slider applies:
•
1
Install the magnet sliders “S”, “N” and “G” until the additional
hole in the magnet points towards the sensor electronics housing.
•
2
Install the magnet slider “V” until the joint points to the end of
the profile.
The internal linearization of the sensor is carried out under the
following conditions:
• Supply v24 VDC ±0.5
• Operating time > 30 min
• No shock and no vibration
• Eccentricity of the position magnet to central axis of the sensor
< 0.1 mm
