MTS Systems says its Temposonics linear-position sensors are being used for precise position measurement for linear actuators to increase output by reducing cycle times and non-productive downtimes.
According to MTS, its Temposonics sensors are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.
These tasks are said to be performed in applications such as assembly lines, handling technology, component feed equipment, quick-positioning systems, quick-change systems for work piece holders, machining centres and packaging solutions.
MTS says the magnetostriction technology invented for Temposonics sensors enables simultaneous and continuous position measurement of up to 30 different points on an axis, which can eliminate the need for multiple sensors or switches.
