Three accuracy terms on a magnetostrictive displacement sensor: smallest step, scatter to a point and full-stroke deviation are not the same number.
Wild readings come from mounting, not failure. On a magnetostrictive displacement sensor, set magnet coaxiality, two-point zero, screened earthing.
No output, jumps or offset on a magnetostrictive displacement sensor? Check the 20.4-28.8 V supply and polarity, then magnet coaxiality and zero.
Injection molding means long strokes, hot oil. Pick in-cylinder versus external magnetostrictive displacement sensors for 0.5-3 m, 12.7 mm bores.
Magnetostrictive displacement sensor vs LVDT vs potentiometer: brushes wear, LVDTs fit under 300 mm, while this one runs 50 mm to metres non-contact.
How a magnetostrictive displacement sensor reads position: waveguide, ring and head split magnetostriction from Wiedemann near 2830 m/s.
Analog or fieldbus for a magnetostrictive displacement sensor? Pick by PLC interface, axis count and diagnostics, drawing the 4-20 mA vs CANopen line.
