1. Product description and technology Temposonics sensors can be used in versatile mobile machines without any restriction and replace contact-based linear sensors like potentiometers. Highly dynamic systems are controlled safely by means of Temposonics sensors, thus enhancing the productivity, availability and quality of the working process of the machine. Insensitive to vibration, shocks, dust and weathering influence and electro-magnetic disturbances. Temposonics MH Series sensors are successfully used in front axle and articulated frame steering cylinders, hydraulic jacks and in steering systems for hydraulic units on agricultural and construction machinery. 1 Temposonics Connector system (IP69K) 2 Flange housing 3 Position magnet 4 Pressure pipe Simple Mechanics The extremely robust sensor consists of the following main parts: 1 The innovative connector system which is easy to install in a few seconds, any soldering or crimping needless, dust-and waterproof up to IP69K. 2 The flange housing with built-in electronics and signal converter. 3 The position magnet as only moving part, which is assembled into the piston bottom. This permanent magnet travels wear-free and contactless along the pressure pipe and measures the actual position. 4 The pressure pipe placed within the drilled piston rod contains the protected magnetostrictive sensing element. converted into an electrical signal. Since the speed of the ultrasonic wave in the waveguide is precisely known, the time required to receive the return signal can be converted into a linear position measurement with both high accuracy and repeatability. Measurement principle 2 Position magnet (Magnetic field) Sensing element (Waveguide) 1 Due to small dimensions MH sensors require only little space Suitable for operating pressures up to 350 bar Unaffected by surrounding media such as ageing or foaming oil Insensitive to shock and vibration Designed for all current supply voltages (12/24 VDC) Temposonics sensors offer used output signals: XX Analog: VDC / ma Measuring technology The absolute, linear position sensors provided by MTS Sensors rely on the company s proprietary Temposonics magnetostrictive technology, which can determine position with a high level of precision and robustness. Each Temposonics position sensor consists of a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, a strain pulse converter and supporting electronics. The magnet, connected to the object in motion in the application, generates a magnetic field at its location on the waveguide. A short current pulse is applied to the waveguide. This creates a momentary radial magnetic field and torsional strain on the waveguide. The momentary interaction of the magnetic fields releases a torsional strain pulse that propagates the length of the waveguide. When the ultrasonic wave reaches the end of the waveguide it is 3 4 Torsional strain pulse converter Measurement Cycle 1 Current pulse generates magnetic field 2 Interaction with position magnet field generates torsional strain pulse 3 Torsional strain pulse propagates 4 Strain pulse detected by converter 5 Time-of-flight converted into distance 5 I 2 I
2. The new Temposonics InterConnection plug MTS presents the new InterConnection plug combined with the reliable connector system M12 The new connection plug is modular configurable and can be combined with all common connector systems in the market. The Temposonics Connector System M12 meets the highest protection requirements important for a harsh environment in mobile hydraulic applications. Protection type IP69K performs water and dust proof. In addition it is even resistive against high pressure water cleaning. The new InterConnection plug invented by MTS Sensors. 1 2 The new InterConnection plug combined with our reliable Temposonics M12 connector system. The connector insert is taken out of the cylinder through a bore hole. The flange can easily be clicked in position from outside. Four standard screws must be tightened to mount the connector system on the cylinder. In case of using angled type connectors the connector insert can be rotated inside the flange in 45 steps. 3 4 With a corresponding mating plug the connector system fulfills an IP rating of IP69K. - Absolutely easy and safe installation. - No brazing or crimping of connecting leads is required.

3. In Cylinder assembly The new MH 5 sensor fits into all enveloped designs for MH series. Mechanical installation The robust Temposonics model MH sensor is designed for direct stroke measurement in hydraulic cylinders. The Temposonics MH sensor can be installed from the head side or the rod side of the cylinder depending on the cylinder design. Example Sensor installation The method of installation is entirely dependent on the cylinder design. While the most common method of installation is from the rod side of the cylinder, an installation from the head side of the cylinder is also possible. In both installation methods, the hermetic sealing of the cylinder is given by an O-ring with additional back-up ring. Please pay attention: The position magnet shall not touch the pressure pipe.
