RK5-C - Magnetostrictive position sensor
)
The absence of electrical contact on the cursor eliminates wearing and guarantees almost unlimited life.
Gefran’s patented ONDA technology achieves a compact, modular structure for simple installation.
RK-5 is a magnetostrictive position transdu-cer with flanged connection that installs completely inside oil-pressure cylinders.
Its unique design, plus a wide range of cursor configurations, ensures easy installation and total compatibility with cylinder manufacturer speci-fications.
Working temperature from -40 to +105°C, working pressures up to 350 bar, high resistance to vibration (25 g) and shock (100g) give the sensor the indispensable strength needed for heavy-duty use (for example: mobile hydraulics).
High performance in terms of transduction of measurement defined as linearity, hystersis and repeatability.
The communication system of CAN bus allows a fast and safe transmission.
The implementation of the CANopen DS-301 protocol and Device Profile DS-406 provides quick and easy integration of the transducer in the control system and automation.
