Turck new linear displacement sensor available for hydraulic cylinders
February 20, 2021
Recently, Turck introduced linear displacement sensors for hydraulic cylinders - the new magnetostrictive LTX series linear displacement sensors. The sensor can achieve liquid level detection through the use of float-type positioning magnetic blocks. Depending on the high seismic resistance and impact resistance of the sensor, this series of sensors can also be applied to construction machinery and other harsh working environments.
This series of products completes the family of inductive linear displacement sensors, especially where magnetic positioning blocks must be used. The LTX-Series products meet the IP68 protection rating while it has anti-corrosive properties for many chemicals and oils. The high quality stainless steel housing protects the product from working in many corrosive environments.
The LTX series linear displacement sensor uses a wear-free detection method, which ensures that it can provide a precise signal output with high linearity and repeatability. It can provide analog signal output (4-20 mA or 0-10 VDC signal) or SSI digital signal output with high precision. A three-color LED indicator can show the working status of the sensor. The low input power (1 watt) version can be connected directly to the display module, control module or interface module.
The easy programming of LTX series sensors makes it easy to adjust the detection range. For setting a smaller measurement range, the product can be set up again in a matter of seconds. Therefore, the series of sensors with good versatility can effectively reduce the inventory pressure of different sensor products during use.
