The Temposonics LS position sensor is the latest addition to the LSeries line of magnetostrictive sensors. Like all L-Series products,
the LS sensor uses a modular, non-contacting design and offers excellent resolution and repeatability.
Mechanically, the LS sensor resembles a potentiometer but provides much higher performance, durability, and value. Because the
LS sensors are non-contacting, the sensing elements and the electronics are fully encapsulated and are not affected by contaminants
common to industrial applications. The LS sensor offers mounting flexibility with two easy-to-install magnet configurations: floating
bar magnet and captive sliding magnet. Stroke lengths up to 144 inches (3650 mm) are available (output dependent). Durable construction
provides a high level of resistance to the effects of shock and vibration and provides long-term reliability.
Outputs from the Temposonics LS sensors are absolute rather than incremental, eliminating the need to re-home in a power-down
situation. A selection of analog and digital outputs (i.e., voltage, current, PWM, and Start/Stop) are available to meet most application
interface requirements.
