    Operating principle

    A magnetoresistive displacement sensor measures the position of a moving part based on changes in a magnetic field. As the mechanism moves, the sensor's measuring element detects the position change 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 you need not only to detect an end position but also to receive a proportional signal regarding the actual displacement throughout the entire measuring range. This allows for more precise control of mechanism stroke, position monitoring, and optimization of equipment operation.

    What are the benefits of a magnetoresistive displacement sensor?
    It allows for measuring not just an "on/off" state, but the actual linear position. This is important in automation systems where you need to control cylinder stroke, slider position, valve opening, mechanical assembly movement, or other precise displacement parameters.

    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 controlling cylinder stroke or actuator position.
    • In equipment control – when an analog signal about the actual position is needed, rather than just an end-position signal.
    • In measurement and testing benches – for displacement measurement, repetitive motion control, and testing processes.
    • In packaging, production, and assembly lines – for tracking and controlling the position of moving parts.

    Practical mounting 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 be used to determine the exact position, stroke, or movement limits.

    Such a solution is suitable for equipment where a simple limit switch is insufficient, as there is a need to observe intermediate positions, control processes based on actual displacement, or perform precise measurement logging.

    Usage by professionals

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

    Engineer / Designer: Relevant when designing linear motion systems where you need to evaluate measuring range, output signal, supply voltage, IP protection, temperature limits, and mechanical mounting.

    Equipment 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.

    Cons / Limitations

    • Precise selection of measuring range required – must correspond to the specific mechanism's displacement.
    • Analog signal must be compatible with the controller – check output variant.

    • Not suitable as a simple limit switch if only an ON/OFF contact is required by the control system.

    Safety and mounting 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, displacement range, and environmental conditions.

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