Product Description

Novotechnik TP1 Series is a touchless linear position sensor based on magnetostrictive technology. It is well-received in industrial fields for its advantages such as unlimited mechanical life, high precision and strong environmental adaptability, and is widely used in equipment that requires accurate linear displacement measurement. The detailed overview is as follows:
⚙️ Core Working Principle
It adopts NOVOSTRICTIVE magnetostrictive non-contact measurement technology. The position detection is realized through the non-contact way of a floating magnet block. The magnet block can either move in a floating state or along the guide rail. There is no mechanical contact between the sensor and the moving part during the measurement process, which fundamentally avoids mechanical wear and ensures unlimited mechanical life.
Outstanding Features
High flexibility in use: There is no need to set a reference starting position. The quadrature digital output will go through an initialization stage when powered on, eliminating the need for reference drive. The installation is flexible, and it can be fixed or adjusted only through a bracket. Cable or connector versions are available for selection. Strong protective performance: The core sensing element is encapsulated in an aluminum shell, which can resist the corrosion of dust, moisture, oil stains and other substances. It also has protection functions such as overvoltage protection and reverse polarity protection.
🛡️ Application Scenarios
It is suitable for various fields requiring precise linear displacement measurement. In the plastic processing industry, it can control the injector and mold by outputting signals to ensure the molding quality of products. In the engineering machinery field, it is used to measure the piston position of hydraulic cylinders and air cylinders. In addition, it is also widely used in automobile manufacturing, wind power generation, medical equipment and aerospace equipment, such as controlling the movement of CT scanning tables and the position of machine tool worktables.
