Position sensor manufacturer, ASM, replaces its model PCST21 with the new PCST24, thereby setting new standards in the field of magnetostrictive position measurement for applications in hydraulic cylinders and fill-measuring equipment.
The sensors use Posichron technology, which is an absolute, contact-free and wear-free position measuring system. The way this system functions minimises wear and the need for maintenance. The new model has been especially designed for industrial applications in the field of position measurement in hydraulic cylinders and fill-measuring equipment in corrosive environments. There is a wide area of application for PCST24 due to its high protection class of IP68, a measurement range up to 5,750 mm and linearity of up to 0,02%.
The sensors are available with analog output 0 to 10 V or 4 to 20 mA, or alternatively with a digital pulse output start/stop or synchronous serial interface (SSI). These can be supplied with cable output or M12/8 pin DIN45326 connectors. The unit is mounted with M18x1,5 or ¾" flanges. Resistance against shock and vibrations has been achieved by a novel assembly of the sensor element. A further advantage is that in the case of malfunction, the electronic circuit and wave-guide can easily be exchanged without impact on the oil circuit.
