The Measurable Difference

THE PRINCIPLEMagnetostriction - A Milestone in Measurement Technology

The heart of MTS sensors is the ferromagnetic measuring element, also known as the waveguide, and a movable position magnet that generates a direct-axis magnetic field in the waveguide. When a current or inter rogation pulse passes through the waveguide, a second magnetic field is created radially around the waveguide. The interaction between the magnetic field in the waveguide and the magnetic field produced by the position magnet generates a strain pulse which travels at a constant ultrasonic speed from its point of generation, the measurement point, to the end of the waveguide where it is transformed into an electric pulse in the sensor element. The resulting signal is processed by the specialized electronics of the Temposonics® sensor. With our extensive

know-how of ferromagnetic materials, magnetic effects and ultrasonic processes, MTS remains unrivalled in performance standards for non-contacting position measurement of the highest precision.

THE COMPANYThe World of MTS - Precision and Reliability

THE APPLICATIONSIndestructible in mobile machines

In the mobile hydraulics field of application, the power of innovation is unbroken and the improvement of machinery is of increasing interest. The trend towards automation and design of intelligent control loops promotes a considerable improvement of the economy, quality and ease of operation to get the job done. Machine damage due to operator errors is prevented actively and detected automatically by measuring the process parameters for quality assurance.

To make use of the advantages of electrohydraulic control systems for mobile equipment, adequate sensors are a must. Temposonics® sensors provide reliable operation even under difficult local circumstances including shock and vibration, adverse climatic conditions and electrical or magnetic inter- ference. Integrated in the hydraulic cylinder, the sensors solve the positioning problem whatever it may be, e.g. in agricultural machines, for material handling or in the automotive industry. Innumerable satisfied mobile hydraulics manufacturers are already making use of the advantages of the contactless MTS sensor measurement principle.
