    Linear Position Sensor – Analog Displacement Measurement, IP68, up to 36V DC, 14–300 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, cable connection, ±0.1% linearity, up to 36V DC supply voltage, 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 takeaway:
    This sensor is designed for precise linear displacement or position measurement, whenever 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 critical to monitor the position of a cylinder, guide, slider, or another moving assembly.

    Operating Principle

    A magnetoresistive displacement sensor measures the position of a moving part based on magnetic field changes. As the mechanism moves, the sensor's measuring element captures the positional 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 mounted using a bracket and connected via cable. It is suitable for cases where it is necessary to not only 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 the actual linear position. This is crucial 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?

    • Industrial automation – for monitoring the travel of mechanisms, sliders, guides, and moving assemblies.
    • Hydraulic and pneumatic systems – for controlling the stroke of cylinders or actuators.
    • Equipment control – when an analog signal about the real position is required, rather than just an end-position signal.
    • Measurement and testing benches – for displacement measurement, repetitive motion control, and test processes.
    • Packaging, production, and assembly lines – for tracking and controlling the position of moving parts.

    Practical Mounting Example

    For example, the sensor can be mounted onto 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, travel, or movement limits.

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

    Use Cases by Professional

    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 travel control of moving parts.

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

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

    Pros

    • Magnetoresistive measurement principle – ideal for linear displacement and position measurement.
    • Analog output – convenient for use with PLCs, controllers, and measurement systems.
    • ±0.1% linearity – excellent accuracy for industrial position measurement.
    • High life cycles – up to 100,000,000 cycles.
    • IP68 protection class – superior protection against environmental impacts.
    • Wide temperature range – operational from -40℃ to +120℃.
    • Aluminum housing – robust and industrial-grade solution.
    • Bracket mounting – easily adaptable to various mechanisms.
    • 14–300 mm variants – selectable based on required travel range.

    Cons / Limitations

    • Requires precise measurement range selection – must match the specific mechanism's stroke.
    • Analog signal compatibility – necessary to verify output type with the controller.
    • Mounting alignment – mechanical misalignment can degrade measurement accuracy.
    • Verify IP rating by specific version – provided with both IP68 and IP65 information.
    • Not a simple end-position switch – if the system only requires an ON/OFF contact, it may not be the most economical choice.

    Safety and Mounting Notes

    The displacement sensor must be mounted and connected according to the manufacturer's instructions. Before installation, 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 specific model's documentation.
    • Ensure mechanical alignment during mounting to prevent lateral loads on the sensor.
    • Do not exceed the permitted displacement speed – rated speed up to 5 m/s.
    • Evaluate operating temperatures – the sensor is specified for use between -40℃ and +120℃.
    • Electrical connection should be performed by a qualified specialist, especially when connecting to a PLC, measurement module, or industrial automation system.
