  • Product description

    Linear position sensor – analog displacement measurement, IP68, up to 36V DC, 14–200 mm

    This is a magnetoresistive linear position and displacement sensor designed for precise measurement of the stroke, position, or linear displacement of moving mechanisms. The sensor features an analog output, cable connection, ±0.1% linearity, up to 36V DC supply voltage, an aluminum housing, and a high ingress protection rating. Due to its compact design and bracket-type mounting, it is suitable for industrial equipment, automation, hydraulics, pneumatic mechanisms, and positioning systems.

    Key takeaway:
    This sensor is intended for precise linear displacement or position measurement when an analog signal, compact mounting, high environmental resistance, and stable operation in industrial systems are required. The PME14 series is particularly relevant in automated equipment where it is important to monitor the position of a cylinder, guide, slider, or other moving assembly.

    Operating principle

    The 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 that can be read by a controller, PLC, measurement module, or another automation system.

    The PME14 series sensor is mounted using a bracket and connected via cable. It is suitable for applications where it is necessary not only to detect the end position but also to obtain a proportional signal regarding the actual displacement throughout the entire measuring range. This allows for more precise control of mechanism travel, position monitoring, and optimization of equipment operation.

    What is the benefit of a magnetoresistive displacement sensor?
    It allows for the measurement of not just an "on/off" state, but also the real linear position. This is important in automation systems where it is necessary to control cylinder travel, 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 travel, sliders, guides, and moving parts.
    • In hydraulic and pneumatic systems – for controlling cylinder travel or actuator position.
    • In equipment control – when an analog signal representing the actual position is needed, rather than just an end-position signal.
    • In measurement and test benches – for displacement measurement, cyclic movement control, and testing processes.
    • In packaging, manufacturing, and assembly lines – for monitoring and controlling the position of moving sub-assemblies.

    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 then be used to determine the exact position, travel, 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 the intermediate position, control the process based on real displacement, or perform precise data logging.

    Usage according to professional needs

    For an 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 and travel control of moving assemblies.

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

    For maintenance personnel: Can be used as a replacement or additional displacement sensor in industrial equipment where reliable position measurement, a high cycle count, and environmental resistance are important.

    Pros

    • Magnetoresistive principle – suitable for linear displacement and position measurement.
    • Analog output – convenient for use with PLCs, controllers, and measurement systems.
    • ±0.1% linearity – good accuracy for industrial position measurement.
    • High service life – up to 100,000,000 cycles.
    • IP68 ingress protection – enhanced protection against environmental factors.
    • Wide temperature range – operation from -40℃ to +120℃.
    • Aluminum housing – robust solution suitable for industry.
    • Bracket mounting – easy to adapt to different mechanisms.
    • 14–200 mm variants – selectable according to the required displacement range.

    Cons / Limitations

    • Measurement range must be selected precisely – it must correspond to the specific mechanism's stroke.
    • Analog signal must be compatible with the controller – essential to check the output variant.
    • Mounting accuracy is critical for results – improper mechanical alignment can degrade accuracy.
    • Verify the actual IP rating for the specific version – both IP68 and IP65 ratings are mentioned in the documentation.
    • Not a replacement for a simple end-limit switch if the control system only requires an ON/OFF contact.

    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, travel range, and environmental conditions.

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

    Quick selection guide

    Suitable when a compact magnetoresistive sensor for linear displacement measurement is needed, and the control system requires an analog signal. This sensor is ideal for industrial equipment, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, sliders, positioning mechanisms, and test benches.
