General Precautions; Mk4 Series C Orrect Use Of Installation Brackets - gefran MK4 Series Installation Manual

Table of Contents

• The transducer must be installed away from sources of magnetic fields, both static and 50 Hz (electric motors, solenoids,

etc.).

• The transducer connection cable must be wired separately from power cables and/or solenoid controls, drives, or remote

switches.

• The line used for power supply must be dedicated to the transducers or must be drawn directly from the power terminals

and as near as possible.

• When choosing a cursor for the MK4 profile magnetostrictive transducer, remember that the transducer's cursor is a

magnet.

Therefore, if there are iron filings or small magnetic metal fragments in proximity of the transducer, avoid the use of

sliding cursors, as there would be a risk of material accumulation on the cursor, creating problems for sliding.

Use a floating cursor instead.

Steel bracket, interaxis 42.5mm

Steel bracket, interaxis 50mm

Stainless steel bracket, interaxis 42.5mm

Stainless steel bracket, interaxis 50mm

Use PKIT09x brackets (to be ordered separately) to correctly install the MK4 magnetostrictive transducer.

Choose the best model based on the material, on the attachment holes interaxis and on the dimension of the screws

included in the package. Each package has two brackets.

We recommend to install one bracket every 250-300 mm.

always use the isolating bushes supplied in the package to ensure the correct transducer isolation.

To prevent damages to the isolating bushes and to the brackets, tighten the fastening screws with a maximum torque of

1.1 Nm.
