    Linear position sensor – analog displacement measurement, IP68, up to 36V DC, 14–450 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, supply voltage up to 36V DC, 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 where an analog signal, compact mounting, high resistance to environmental factors, and stable performance in industrial systems are required. The PME14 series is particularly relevant for automated equipment where it is critical to monitor the position of a cylinder, guide rail, slide, 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 other automation system.

    The PME14 series sensor is installed using a mounting bracket and connected via cable. It is suitable for applications 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 for measuring more than just an "on/off" state; it provides real-time linear position data. This is essential 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 travel of mechanisms, sliders, guide rails, and moving assemblies.
    • In hydraulic and pneumatic systems – for controlling cylinder travel or actuator positions.
    • In equipment control – when an analog signal regarding actual position is needed, rather than just an end-position signal.
    • In measurement and testing stands – for displacement measurement, controlling 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, 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 travel limits.

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

    Application by user

    For the automation specialist: A suitable solution when an analog position signal is required for a PLC, equipment control system, or data acquisition module. It can be used for positioning and travel control of moving assemblies.

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

    For the 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.

    Pros

    • Magnetoresistive measurement 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 operating cycles – up to 100,000,000 times.
    • IP68 ingress protection – enhanced protection against environmental factors.
    • Wide temperature range – operational from -40℃ to +120℃.
    • Aluminum housing – robust and suitable for industrial environments.
    • Bracket mounting – convenient for adapting to different mechanisms.
    • 14–450 mm variants – can be selected based on the required displacement stroke.

    Cons / limitations

    • Requires precise selection of measurement stroke – must correspond to the specific mechanism's displacement.
    • Analog signal must be compatible with the controller – it is essential to check the output variant.
    • Mounting precision is important for measurement results – improper mechanical alignment can reduce accuracy.
    • Verify the actual IP rating for the specific version – both IP68 and IP65 protection information are provided.
    • Not suitable as a simple end-position 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, displacement stroke, 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 so that the sensor is not subjected to lateral forces.
    • Do not exceed the permitted displacement speed – the specified displacement speed is up to 5 m/s.
    • Consider 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.
