NOTICE
Note for installation respectively
for replacement
The serial numbers (S/N:) of cable
and sensor electronics housing
must match so that the position
measurement is correct.

NOTICE
Mount the sensor as follows:
1. Mount the flange with sensor rod
2. Mount the sensor electronics housing
3. Connect the cable between flange and the sensor electronics
housing
The steps mentioned above will be explained in chapter 4.4.1, chapter
4.4.2 and chapter 4.4.3.

4.4.1 Installation of RD4 with threaded flange

Fix the sensor rod via threaded flange M18×1.5-6g or ¾"-16 UNF-3A.

Installation of a rod-style sensor in a fluid cylinder
The rod-style version has been developed for direct stroke
measurement in a fluid cylinder. Mount the sensor via threaded flange
or a hex nut.
• Mounted on the face of the piston, the position magnet travels over
the rod without touching it and indicates the exact position through
the rod wall – independent of the hydraulic fluid.
• The pressure resistant sensor rod is installed into a bore in the
piston rod.

Hydraulics sealing
There are the following ways to seal the flange contact
surface (Fig. 16):
For threaded flange »C« / »D«:
1. A sealing by using an O-ring (e.g. 22.4 × 2.65 mm (0.88 × 0.1 in.)
25.07 × 2.62 mm (0.99 × 0.1 in.)) in a cylinder end cap groove.
For threaded flange (¾"-16 UNF-3A) »D« / »T«:
2. A sealing by using an O-ring 16.4 × 2.2 mm (0.65 × 0.09 in.)
(part no. 560 315) in the undercut.
For threaded flange (M18×1.5-6g) »C« / »M« & »G«:
3. A sealing by using O-ring 15.3 × 2.2 mm (0.6 × 0.09 in.)
(part no. 401 133) in the undercut. In this case a screw hole based
on ISO 6149-1 (Fig. 17) must be provided. See ISO 6149-1 for
further information.

Fig. 16: Possibilities of sealing
• Note the fastening torque of 50 Nm.
• Seat the flange contact surface completely on the cylinder
mounting surface.
• The cylinder manufacturer determines the pressure-resistant
gasket (copper gasket, O-ring, etc.).
• The position magnet should not grind on the sensor rod.
• The piston rod drilling (≥ Ø 13 mm (≥ Ø 0.51 in.))
depends on the pressure and piston speed.
• Adhere to the information relating to operating pressure.
• Protect the sensor rod against wear.
