Absolute magnetostrictive linear position sensor for narrow installation ASM

PCFP24: a magnetostrictive Position Sensor as flat as a ruler

Position sensor manufacturer ASM introduces a new magnetostrictive position sensor with a unique extremely flat housing: the POSICHRON® model PCFP24. With a height of only 12 mm, the “flat pack” is suited for numerous applications in narrow installation environments.

POSICHRON® is an absolute, contact-free and wear-free measuring system designed for almost all industrial applications. The PCFP24 has absolutely no protrusion in form of screws, connectors or probes jutting out of the 12 mm construction. This feature makes PCFP24 best suited for applications in narrow installation environments.

The sensor can be installed easily by means of mounting brackets. With this design the sensor position can be adjusted over its whole mechanical length without any mechanical collision. The system is wear- and maintenance-free and features high shock and vibration resistance.

The PCFP24 is available with analog interfaces for voltage (10V) or current (4-20mA) output as well as with SSI or digital pulse output Start/Stop, which makes it possible to bind the sensor into subsequent electronics for bus systems. The sensors measurement range is up to 5750 mm.
