The R-Series V RH5 is among the new generation of high performance rod-style sensors for demanding in-cylinder applications. The absolute, linear position sensors provided by Temposonics rely on the company’s proprietary magnetostrictive technology, which can determine position with a high level of precision and robustness.
Key Features of the R-Series V RH5:
- Backward compatible
- Increased operating temperature up to +85 °C (+185 °F)
- Increased shock & vibration resistance
- Improved performance with high accuracy & reliability
- Multi-position measurement with up to 30 magnets
- Outputs: Analog, SSI, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP™, POWERLINK, EtherCAT®
- Output of additional status information of the position sensor via the TempoLink® smart assistant or TempoGate® smart assistant.
Each Temposonics position sensor consists of a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, a strain pulse converter and supporting electronics. The magnet, connected to the object in motion in the application, generates a magnetic field at its location on the waveguide.
A short current pulse is applied to the waveguide. This creates a momentary radial magnetic field and torsional strain on the waveguide.
The momentary interaction of the magnetic fields releases a torsional strain pulse that propagates the length of the waveguide. When the ultrasonic wave reaches the end of the waveguide it is converted into an electrical signal. Since the speed of the ultrasonic wave in the waveguide is precisely known, the time required to receive the return signal can be converted into a linear position measurement with both high accuracy and repeatability.
Specifications of the R-Series V RH5:
Temposonics® R-Series V brings very powerful sensor performance to meet the many demands of your application. This series is the long term solution for harsh environments that have high levels of shock and vibration. The sensors are available with PROFINET RT (Real Time) and IRT (Isochronous Real Time).
