Alignment Of The Magnet With The Option "Internal Linearization - MTS Systems Temposonics R V POWERLINK Series Operation Manual

4.5 Alignment of the magnet with the option
"Internal linearization"
The internal linearization offers improved linearity of the sensor.
The option must be specified in the order code of the sensor.
During production of the sensor, the internal linearization of the
sensor is carried out.
A sensor with internal linearization is delivered with the magnet with
which the sensor was squared during production. In order to achieve
the best possible result, MTS Sensors recommends to operate the
sensor with the supplied magnet.
For the internal linearization, the following magnets can be used:
• Ring magnet OD33 (part no. 253 620), for RH5 only
• U-magnet OD33 (part no. 254 226)
• Ring magnet OD25.4 (part no. 253 621), for RH5 only
• Magnet slider S (part no. 252 182), for RP5 only
• Magnet slider N (part no. 252 183), for RP5 only
• Magnet slider V (part no. 252 184), for RP5 only
• Magnet slider G (part no. 253 421), for RP5 only
The ring- and U-magnet will be marked for the internal linearization.
During the installation, the magnets have to be aligned to the sensor
electronics housing (see fig. 19, 20 and 21).
For RH5 POWERLINK sensors with ring magnet applies:
• Install the magnet until the marking on the magnet points to the
sensor electronics housing.
• The marking on the magnet points to the same direction as the
elongated status LED in the lid of the sensor electronics housing.

For RP5 POWERLINK sensors with U-magnet applies:
• Install the magnet until the marking on the magnet points to the
sensor electronics housing.
• The marking on the magnet points to the same direction as the
elongated status LED in the lid of the sensor electronics housing.

For RP5 POWERLINK sensors with magnet slider applies:
Install the magnet sliders "S", "N" and "G" until the additional hole

The internal linearization of the sensor is carried out under the
following conditions:
• Supply voltage +24 VDC ± 0.5
• Operating time > 30 min
• No shock and no vibration
• Eccentricity of the position magnet to central axis
of the sensor < 0.1 mm
NOTICE
The generated linearization might deviate from the linearity tolerances re-
garding different environmental conditions. In addition, the use of a dif-
ferent position magnet or more position magnets may cause differences.
