Enhanced MH Position Sensor is First in MTS Sensors' New Line

July 21, 2005 — Building on the success of its TemposonicsÒ MH position sensor, Cary, N.C.-based MTS Sensors introduced a comprehensive line of mobile hydraulic position sensors at ConExpo this year. Beginning with an enhanced version of the existing MH sensor, the M-Series sensors family now offers smaller diameter cylinders (>1.5 in. / 32mm) and a new sensor for applications requiring extended performance and features, such as programmable velocity outputs.

 

First in the family of mobile hydraulic position sensors, the MH sensor has been enhanced with a number of new features. Designed for 2-inch diameter (50mm) cylinders or larger, the MH sensor provides a measuring range of 2-78 in. (50-2000mm), doubling the available stroke length, while maintaining high levels of accuracy and repeatability. The new MH sensor provides three position output options: 0-5V, 4-20mA, or PWM (16 recirculations). It also is available with a simultaneous velocity output for more precise closed loop control capability. The MH sensor operates from -40 to +105°C, and can be purchased with either individual wire or cable connection options that are compatible with typical mobile equipment electrical connector requirements.
