Magnetostrictive linear position sensor
With its many international approvals, such as ATEX and IECex, the BTL7-T500 certified position measuring system from Balluff offers a broad range of applications, high reliability and safe operation in explosion hazard areas of Zone 0 and Zone 1. This means for example it can be used as well for continuous level measurement in refinery tanks.
The position measuring system can be quickly adapted, saves time in installation and means rapid diagnostics of possible errors. This shortens commissioning time of systems and maintenance when service calls are needed. A single cable suffices for hookup (BUS-in-out, power).
The non-contact and thereby wear-free magnetostrictive measuring system in the stainless steel housing with IP 67 protection is not only extremely insensitive to contamination, but also shock rated to 100 g. It also withstands vibration up to 12 g. With a resolution of 1μm and repeat accuracy of 10μm it operates with extreme precision and is also a good solution when position and speed measurement needs to be performed simultaneously in a system.
