Styles And Installation Of R-Series Rp - MTS Sensors Temposonics R-Series Ethernet/IP Operation Manual

4.2 Styles and installation of R-Series RP

Temposonics RP offers modular construction, flexible mounting configurations and easy installation. Position measurement is non-contact
®
via two versions of permanent magnets.
• A sliding magnet running in profile housing rails. Connection with the moving machine part is via a ball jointed arm for taking up axial forces.
• A floating magnet, mounted directly on the moving machine part, travels over the profile at a low distance. Its air-gap allows the correction
of small misalignments at installation.

and the active stroke length (useful electrical stroke) with its start
and end position is adjusted during final inspection and testing
(see Fig. 2).

NOTICE
On all sensors, the areas left and right of the active stroke length
are provided for mounting and damping of the measuring signal.
They should not be used for measurement, but the active stroke

length can be exceeded without problem. (2)
Mechanical zero
To ensure that the entire measuring range can be used electrically,
the position magnet must be mounted mechanically as follows:
