    Linear position sensor – analog displacement measurement, IP68, up to 36V DC, 14–400 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, a 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 designed for precise linear displacement or position measurement in applications requiring an analog signal, compact mounting, high environmental resistance, and stable operation in industrial systems. The PME14 series is particularly relevant in automated equipment where monitoring the position of a cylinder, guide, slider, or other moving assembly is critical.

    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 a cable. It is suitable for cases where it is necessary not only to detect an end position but also to obtain a proportional signal regarding the actual displacement across the entire measurement range. This allows for more precise control of mechanism travel, position monitoring, and optimization of equipment performance.

    What are the benefits of a magnetoresistive displacement sensor?
    It allows measuring more than just an "on/off" state; it provides real-time linear position data. This is crucial in automation systems where you need to control cylinder travel, slider position, valve opening, mechanical assembly movement, or other precise displacement parameters.

    Typical applications

    • Industrial automation – monitoring the position of mechanisms, sliders, guides, and moving parts.
    • Hydraulic and pneumatic systems – controlling cylinder stroke or actuator position.
    • Equipment control – when an analog signal regarding actual position is needed, rather than just an end-position signal.
    • Measurement and testing stands – displacement measurement, control of repetitive movements, and testing processes.
    • Packaging, manufacturing, and assembly lines – monitoring and controlling the position of moving assemblies.

    Practical installation example

    For instance, 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.

    This solution is suitable for equipment where a simple limit switch is insufficient, as it requires intermediate position monitoring, process control based on actual displacement, or accurate measurement logging.

    Usage by professional profile

    Automation specialists: A suitable solution when an analog position signal is required for a PLC controller, machine control system, or data acquisition module. It can be used for positioning and stroke control of moving assemblies.

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

    Maintenance technicians: Can be used as a replacement or additional displacement sensor in industrial equipment where reliable position measurement, long cycle life, and environmental resistance are important.

    Pros

    • Magnetoresistive measurement – suitable for linear displacement and position measurement.
    • Analog output – easy to interface with PLCs, controllers, and measurement systems.
    • ±0.1% linearity – good accuracy for industrial position measurement.
    • High cycle life – up to 100,000,000 operations.
    • IP68 ingress protection – superior protection against environmental factors.
    • Wide temperature range – operation from -40℃ to +120℃.
    • Aluminum housing – robust and industry-ready.
    • Bracket mounting – easy to adapt to different mechanisms.
    • 14–400 mm options – can be selected according to required displacement range.

    Cons / Limitations

    • Requires precise measurement stroke selection – must match the specific mechanism's travel.
    • Analog signal must be compatible with the controller – output type must be verified.
    • Mounting accuracy impacts results – improper mechanical alignment can degrade accuracy.
    • Verify specific IP rating for the version – both IP68 and IP65 information provided.
    • Not a simple ON/OFF limit switch – if only a binary switch signal is needed, this sensor may be over-specified.

    Safety and installation notes

    The displacement sensor must be installed 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 documentation for the specific model.
    • Ensure mechanical alignment during installation to prevent the sensor from being loaded with lateral forces.
    • Do not exceed the permissible displacement speed – specified as up to 5 m/s.
    • Consider operating temperature – specified for operation from -40℃ to +120℃.
    • Electrical installation must be performed by a qualified specialist, especially when connecting the sensor to a PLC, measurement module, or industrial automation system.
