Installation

3.1

Transducer installation

Ensure that no strong electrical or
magnetic fields are present in the
immediate vicinity of the trans-
ducer.
Any orientation is permitted.
The supplied mounting brackets
and cylinder head screws allow the
transducer to be mounted on a flat
machine surface.
2.2

Function

The Micropulse transducer con-
tains a waveguide enclosed by an
extruded aluminum housing. A
magnet attached to the moving
member of the machine is moved
across the top of the housing and
its position constantly updated.
The magnet defines the measured
position on the waveguide. An inter-
nally generated INIT pulse interacts
with the magnetic field of the mag-
net to generate a magnetostrictive
torsional wave in the waveguide
which propagates at ultrasonic
speed.
The torsional wave arriving at the
end of the waveguide is absorbed in
the damping zone. The wave arriv-

Machine
A sufficient quantity of mounting
brackets is supplied.
Recommended installation:
Distance A = approx. 80 mm
Distance B = approx. 250 mm (be-
tween the individual clamps)
To prevent resonant frequencies
under vibration loads of >50 g, we
recommend placing the mounting
clamps at irregular intervals.
ing at the beginning of the wave-
guide creates an electrical signal in
the coil surrounding the waveguide.
The wave propagation time is used
to define the position with a resolu-
tion of 5 µm. This takes place with
high precision and repeatability
within the measuring range indi-
cated as the nominal stroke length.
On both ends of the nominal stroke
length is an area which provides an
unreliable signal, but which may be
entered.
The electrical connection between
the transducer, the controller/master
and the power supply is via cables,
which are connected using connec-
tors.
Dimensions for installing the
Micropulse transducer and for the
magnets and control arm are found
on ➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ pages 4 and 5.
2.3
To provide for optimum fit in any
Moving ma-
application, a wide range of stan-
chine part
dard stroke lengths and magnets in
various form factors are available.
Magnets and control arms must
therefore be ordered separately.
The following nominal stroke
lengths are available:

Other stroke lengths on request.
The supplied isolation bushings are
used to electrically insulate the
transducer from the machine.

Noise elimination
The Micropulse transducer in profile
housing is suitable both for floating,
i.e. non-contacting magnets
(➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ page 4) and for captive magnets
(➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ ➥ page 5).
