Compact Versatile Position Sensing from MTS Uses Magnetostrictive Technology


Ludenscheid, Germany — MTS Sensors, a division of MTS Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: MTSC), has expanded its EC-Series absolute position sensing product family. Based on the company’s Tempo - sonics® magnetostrictive technology, the new EC-Series models are designed to offer a higher degree of integration — with a choice of serial interface standards supported, plus built-in active signal conditioning functionality. Supplementing the original


devices, which have direct signal out- puts (both analog and start-stop), these additional versions have inter-


connects incorporated into the sensor housing that are compliant with either CANopen or synchronous seri- al interface (SSI) communication protocols. This results in enhanced system


flexibility and added convenience. Depending on the cable length


involved, the SSI and CANopen interfaces can handle data rates reaching 400kbits/s and 1000kbits/s respectively. Specified for stroke lengths of

between 50mm and 2500mm, both of the CANopen and SSI EC-Series devices exhibit less than ±0.005 per- cent full scale (FS) deviation in their repeatability and less than ±0.02 per- cent FS deviation in their linearity. These sensors have an operational temperature range covering –20 to +70°C (–4 to +158°F). Furthermore, they can withstand 90 percent rela-


tive humidity and are IP30 rated (in order to safeguard against foreign bodies). To ensure precision position


measurement, even when placed in the most difficult of application set- tings, these sensing devices are char- acterized by their exceptional resilience to shocks, vibrations and extreme temperatures. This is due to proprietary Temposonics magne- tostrictive technology the company has developed. The new EC- Series products are well suited to integrat- ed level measurement tasks inside items of industrial hardware — including hydraulic oil tanks, lubri- cations systems, waste water tanks, filling machines and medical equip-


ment. Contact: MTS Systems Corp.,
