Size in four moves: stroke, mounting, protection, output. This magnetostrictive displacement sensor checklist fixes each in order.

Axes per bus? This magnetostrictive displacement sensor obeys a time budget: update within cycle within loop. CANopen, EtherCAT, PROFINET ranked.

Rate by pressure peak, not relief-valve. Series 16: 350/530 bar; 17 and 19: 600 bar. Match spike to this magnetostrictive displacement sensor.

Start at the zone: Ex ia for Zone 0, Ex ib or Ex d for Zone 1, Ex tD dust. Pick this magnetostrictive displacement sensor by group and temp class.

Oil limits the rod, air limits the head—never average. The 19D split moves the head off heat. Check both magnetostrictive displacement sensor ratings.

A wiper drags on resistive film; this magnetostrictive displacement sensor couples magnet to waveguide non-contactly. Compare failure modes and TCO.

Gap or stroke? Capacitive probes span a hairline; this magnetostrictive displacement sensor tracks the ring over metres. Short builds hold ±0.002 mm.

Reading specifications starts with one conversion: turn %FS into millimetres. The same 0.02% FS is ±0.02 mm at 100 mm and ±0.8 mm at 4000 mm — a factor of 40. This magnetostrictive displacement sensor guide tabulates 0.01 / 0.02 / 0.05% FS across 100–7600 mm, splits resolution, repeatability and non-linearity, and lists the three premises that are usually missed: temperature interval, IP test conditions and pressure basis.

A rotary encoder needs rack conversion and homing; this magnetostrictive displacement sensor reads the ring directly, no backlash, no homing.

Which bus? Match the machine master—CANopen, Profibus, EtherCAT, PROFINET—then weigh timing. This magnetostrictive displacement sensor tables them.

Five in-bore choices—16, 16R, 17, 17EX, 19H—split by gas, redundancy, platform. This magnetostrictive displacement sensor spans 12.7 mm to 600 bar.

By duty external families part—13 washdown, 18/19P follower, 19F long travel. This magnetostrictive displacement sensor line holds ±0.02% FS.
