  • Product description

    Linear position sensor – analog displacement measurement, IP68, up to 36V DC, 14–250 mm

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

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

    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 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 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 receive a proportional signal regarding the actual displacement across the entire measuring range. This allows for more precise control of mechanism travel, position monitoring, and optimization of equipment performance.

    What is the benefit of a magnetoresistive displacement sensor?
    It allows for measuring not just an "on/off" state, but the actual linear position. This is crucial in automation systems where it is necessary to control cylinder travel, slide 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, slides, guides, and moving assemblies.
    • In hydraulic and pneumatic systems – for controlling cylinder travel 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 stands – for displacement measurement, control of repetitive movements, and testing processes.
    • In packaging, production, and assembly lines – for monitoring and controlling the position of moving assemblies.

    Practical mounting example

    For example, the sensor can be mounted on a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, slide, 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, travel distance, or movement limits.

    Such a solution is suitable for equipment where a simple end-position switch is insufficient, as it is necessary to see intermediate positions, control the process based on actual displacement, or perform precise measurement logging.

    Usage according to user profile

    For Automation Specialists: 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 travel control.

    For Engineers / Designers: Relevant when designing linear motion systems, where measuring range, output signal, supply voltage, IP protection, temperature limits, and mechanical mounting need to be assessed.

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

    Pros

    • Magnetoresistive measuring 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 number of operation cycles – up to 100,000,000 times.
    • IP68 protection rating – superior protection against environmental impacts.
    • Wide temperature range – operation from -40℃ to +120℃.
    • Aluminum housing – a robust solution suitable for industrial environments.
    • Bracket mounting – convenient to adapt to various mechanisms.
    • 14–250 mm variants – can be selected according to the required displacement range.

    Cons / Limitations

    • Requires precise measurement range selection – must match the specific displacement of the mechanism.
    • Analog signal must be compatible with the controller – necessary to check the output variant.
    • Mounting accuracy is critical for measurement results – improper mechanical alignment can degrade accuracy.
    • Need to verify the actual IP class for the specific version – both IP68 and IP65 information are provided.
    • Not suitable as a simple end-position switch if the control system only requires an ON/OFF contact.

    Safety and mounting notes

    The displacement sensor must be mounted and connected according to the manufacturer's instructions. Before mounting, it is essential to evaluate the supply voltage, output signal type, mechanical mounting, displacement range, and environmental conditions.

    • Do not exceed 36V DC supply voltage, unless otherwise specified in the documentation for the specific model.
    • Ensure mechanical alignment during mounting so that the sensor is not loaded with lateral forces.
    • Do not exceed the permitted displacement speed – a speed of up to 5 m/s is specified.
    • Assess the operating temperature – the sensor is specified 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.
