T-Series – TH CANbus

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Temposonics® T-Series TH CANbus linear position sensors are engineered for precise position measurement in challenging industrial settings, utilizing magnetostrictive technology for accurate, non-contact, and wear-free measurements.
Measurement Technology: These sensors operate on a time-of-flight principle, where a current pulse generates a magnetic field that interacts with a position magnet to create a torsional strain pulse. This pulse is then converted into an electrical signal for precise position determination.
TH Sensor Features: Designed for durability, these sensors are suitable for continuous use in hazardous areas and are certified under various international standards such as ATEX, IECEx, and NEC. They can withstand high pressures and are ideal for petrochemical and caustic environments.
Technical Data: The sensors support a CAN-Fieldbus interface with adjustable baud rates and can measure multiple positions. They offer high resolution (2 µm, 5 µm) and accuracy, with a linearity of less than ±0.01% F.S. and repeatability of less than ±0.001% F.S. They operate in temperatures ranging from −40 to +75 °C and in high humidity conditions.
Certifications: These sensors are certified for use in various hazardous zones and comply with international safety standards across Europe, the UK, USA, Canada, Japan, China, and India.
Design and Materials: The sensor housing is constructed from stainless steel, with options for different flange types. They comply with RoHS directives and are designed for stroke lengths from 25 to 7620 mm.
Connection Options: Various connection types are available, including side and top connections, with specific wiring diagrams provided for different versions.
Accessories: Additional accessories such as position magnets are available, with detailed specifications provided in the accessories catalog.

Temposonics® TH CANbus Data Sheet MEASURING TECHNOLOGY The absolute, linear position sensors provided by Temposonics rely on the company’s proprietary magnetostrictive technology, which can determine position with a high level of precision and robustness. Each Temposonics® position sensor consists of a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, a strain pulse converter and a supporting electronics. The magnet, connected to the object in motion in the application, generates a magnetic field at its location on the waveguide. A short current pulse is applied to the waveguide. This creates a momentary...
