    Operating principle

    A magnetoresistive displacement sensor measures the position of a moving part based on changes in the magnetic field. As the mechanism moves, the sensor's measuring element detects the change in position and converts it into an analog electrical signal, which can be read by a controller, PLC, measurement module, or other automation system.

    The PME14 series sensor is installed using a bracket and connected via cable. It is suitable for applications where, instead of just detecting an end position, there is a need to obtain a proportional signal regarding the actual displacement throughout the measurement range. This allows for more precise control of mechanism stroke, position monitoring, and optimization of equipment performance.

    What is the benefit of a magnetoresistive displacement sensor?
    It allows for the measurement of not just an "on/off" state, but the real linear position. This is important in automation systems where it is necessary to control cylinder stroke, slider position, valve opening, mechanical assembly movement, or another precise displacement parameter.

    Where is it used?

    • In industrial automation – for monitoring the position of mechanism strokes, sliders, guides, and moving parts.
    • In hydraulic and pneumatic systems – for control of cylinder stroke or actuator position.
    • In equipment control – when an analog signal regarding real position is required, rather than just an end-position signal.
    • In measurement and test rigs – for displacement measurement, control of repetitive motions, and testing processes.
    • In packaging, production, and assembly lines – for monitoring and controlling the position of moving components.

    Practical installation example

    For example, the sensor can be mounted on a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, slider, or linear mechanism. As the mechanism moves, the sensor transmits an analog signal to the controller, which can then be used to determine precise position, stroke, or movement limits.

    Such a solution is suitable for equipment where a simple end-position switch is insufficient because there is a need to see intermediate positions, control the process based on real displacement, or perform accurate measurement logging.

    Usage by professional role

    For the Automation Specialist: A suitable solution when an analog position signal is required for a PLC controller, equipment control system, or data acquisition module. Can be used for positioning moving assemblies and stroke control.

    For the Engineer / Designer: Relevant when designing linear motion systems where it is necessary to evaluate the measurement stroke, output signal, supply voltage, IP protection, temperature limits, and mechanical mounting.

    For the Maintenance Specialist: Can be used as a replacement or additional displacement sensor in industrial equipment where reliable position measurement, a high number of operating cycles, and environmental resistance are important.

    Safety and installation notes

    The displacement sensor must be installed and connected according to the manufacturer's instructions. Before installation, it is necessary to evaluate the supply voltage, output signal type, mechanical mounting, measurement stroke, and environmental conditions.

    • Do not exceed 36V DC supply voltage, unless otherwise specified in the specific model's documentation.
    • Ensure mechanical alignment during installation so that the sensor is not subjected to side loads.
    • Do not exceed permissible displacement speed – specified speed is up to 5 m/s.
    • Assess operating temperature – the sensor is rated for operation from -40℃ to +120℃.
    • Electrical connection must be performed by a qualified specialist, especially when connecting the sensor to a PLC, measurement module, or industrial automation system.
