Description

The FST400-3000 utilizes a magnetostrictive sensing principle, where a current pulse interacts with the magnetic field of a moving ring magnet to determine absolute position with high resolution. This non-contact method eliminates mechanical wear, providing exceptional long-term stability and repeatability for critical displacement feedback.

Engineered for industrial durability, the sensor features an IP67-protected, oil-resistant housing capable of operating in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Its built-in cylinder rod form factor (M18 thread) allows for seamless installation directly into servo hydraulic cylinders, making it ideal for closed-loop position control systems.

Key Features

  • Magnetostrictive technology for absolute, non-contact linear position measurement.
  • High accuracy of ±0.1%FS (or ±0.3%FS) ensures precise control feedback.
  • Robust 4-20mA two-wire current loop output for noise-immune signal transmission over long distances.
  • IP67 protection rating and oil-resistant construction for reliable operation in dirty, wet industrial environments.
  • Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C for extreme condition performance.
  • Built-in cylinder design with M18 mechanical interface for simplified integration into hydraulic actuators.
  • Direct lead wire connection (1 meter included) for straightforward electrical termination.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for demanding industrial positioning applications.

Applications

  • Servo hydraulic cylinder piston position feedback and preset control.
  • Displacement and positioning control in casting, forging, and injection molding machines.
  • Precision position feedback for grinding machinery and machine tool slides.
  • Fan pitch angle adjustment and brake control systems in heavy machinery.
  • Linear position monitoring in timber processing and material handling equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal and wiring for this sensor?

The sensor provides a standard 4-20mA two-wire analog current output. It requires a 24VDC power supply connected in series with the loop; the same two wires carry both power and the proportional current signal, simplifying installation and providing high noise immunity for long-distance transmission to PLCs or controllers.

How is this magnetostrictive displacement sensor installed?

The FST400-3000 features a built-in cylinder rod form factor with an M18 thread, designed for direct integration into the end of a hydraulic cylinder or similar actuator. The provided ring magnet is mounted on the moving piston or target. The sensor body is fixed, and the magnet moves along its length, enabling non-contact position measurement.

What is the operating environment specification?

This sensor is built for harsh industrial conditions. It has an IP67 rating, making it dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water. Its housing is oil and dirt-resistant, and it operates reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring performance in most industrial settings.
