Linear position sensor with EtherCAT interface from Balluff wins "FBE Innovative Product of the Year Award for Food & Beverage Engineering"

Create Date: 2024-8-30 12:03:23|Source: BALLUFF/BALLUFF

In order to make a name for ourselves in the food and beverage industry, we needed a highly competitive product – a linear displacement sensor with EtherCAT interface from Balluff won the "FBE Innovative Product of the Year Award for Food & Beverage Engineering". Magnetostrictive position measuring systems with rod design are mainly used in hydraulic drives. They are particularly suitable for use in hydraulic cylinders for position feedback, forming and rolling equipment or lifting equipment. Because the sensors are installed within the pressure range of the cylinder, they must have the same compressive strength as the cylinder itself. The measuring cell is housed in a pressure-resistant tube made of non-magnetic stainless steel. The flange seals the high-pressure area by means of an O-ring. Outside the cylinder, the electronics are integrated into a protective housing on the member flange.

peculiarity

Resolution up to 1 μm

The measuring range is up to 7620 mm

Measure multiple positions and velocities at the same time

The output signal is programmable – the measurement range can be reversed, configured and recorded

Flexible installation thanks to different thread types

Contactless, so wear-free – no downtime and a long service life

Expand measurement capabilities with multi-magnet technology

Easy integration into devices via a wide range of interfaces – e.g. IO-Link, Profinet, EtherCAT, SSI and analog
