  • Product description

    Linear position sensor – analog displacement measurement, IP68, up to 36V DC, 14–50 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, a power supply of up to 36V DC, 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, 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

    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 mounted using a bracket and connected via a 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 throughout 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 the measurement of not just an "on/off" state, but the actual linear position. This is critical in automation systems where it is necessary to control cylinder travel, slider position, valve opening, mechanical assembly movement, or other precise displacement parameters.

    Applications

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

    Practical mounting example

    For example, the sensor can be mounted to 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, as it is necessary to see intermediate positions, control the process based on actual displacement, or perform precise measurement logging.

    Professional use

    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 stroke control of moving assemblies.

    For the engineer / designer: Relevant when designing linear motion systems where it is necessary to consider the measurement range, 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, high cycle count, and environmental resistance are important.

    Advantages

    • Magnetoresistive measurement principle – suitable for linear displacement and position measurement.
    • Analog output – easy to use with PLCs, controllers, and measurement systems.
    • ±0.1% linearity – good accuracy for industrial position measurement.
    • High cycle life – up to 100,000,000 cycles.
    • IP68 protection class – excellent protection against environmental factors.
    • Wide temperature range – operates from -40℃ to +120℃.
    • Aluminum housing – robust solution suitable for industry.
    • Bracket mounting – convenient for adaptation to various mechanisms.
    • 14–50 mm variants – can be selected based on the required travel.

    Limitations

    • Requires precise selection of measurement range – must correspond to the actual displacement of the mechanism.
    • Analog signal must be compatible with the controller – check the specific output type.
    • Mechanical alignment is critical – improper alignment can reduce measurement accuracy.
    • Verify specific IP class based on version – both IP68 and IP65 ratings mentioned.
    • Not suitable as a simple end-position switch if only an ON/OFF signal is needed.

    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 otherwise specified in the documentation for a specific model.
    • Ensure mechanical alignment during installation so that the sensor is not subjected to side loads.
    • Do not exceed permissible displacement speed – specified up to 5 m/s.
    • Consider operating temperature – rated for -40℃ to +120℃.
    • Electrical connection should be performed by a qualified specialist, especially when connecting to a PLC, measurement module, or industrial automation system.
