TSM magnetostrictive sensors.
Precise position feedback.

What is a magnetostrictive position sensor?

A magnetostrictive position sensor measures absolute linear position by timing the travel of a torsional pulse along a waveguide. A magnet moves with the measured object without contacting the sensor rod, avoiding wear at the sensing interface.

Four sensor families. Two output choices.

Start with the connection and application, then confirm the measuring range and electrical interface. Each family is available in the analog and CANopen versions shown below.

Analog + CANopen

What to include in your sensor request

1. Application: Describe the hydraulic cylinder movement or level measurement.
2. Range and fit: Provide the measuring stroke, available space, and mounting details.
3. Performance: State the required linearity and repeatability; resolution alone does not define accuracy.
4. Electrical interface: Specify analog output or CANopen, available supply voltage, and the required connection.
