Temposonics Linear Transducers
R Series - Rod & Profile Style Position Sensors - CANbus Output
The Temposonics R Series Linear Transducers are your solution when you need smart sensor capability for faster, higher precision, more reliable data processing and communication. By preprocessing sensor data in the sensor, your machine controller can reduce processing overhead and carry out other functions. Though the Temposonics R Series is at least four times faster than the other proven lines of Temposonics sensors, it’s also more precise: Resolution of 2 microns (0.00008 inch) at 10,000 measurements per second is standard; exceptional non-linearity of 0.02% uncorrected; and hysteresis of 0.00015 inches, which is the best in the industry.

"Smart" Temposonics R Series position sensors with CANbus capability are microprocessor-based and transmit the complete displacement value data directly to a machine controller. CANbus functionality is used for position data, programmable set points, status and velocity. A CANbus (Controller Area Network) network links all system components via an open fieldbus system. CANbus allows you to interface up to or from 64 to 125 devices using a single cable, thus eliminating the need for conventional methods of multiple wire runs.

Temposonics R sensors offer modular construction and non-contacting magnetostrictive technology. Two application housings are available: rod-style (Model RH) and profile-style (Model RP). With RH sensors, the sensor cartridge can be quickly replaced in the field without removing the application housing. The changeover is done in one minute with no draining or de-pressurizing of the hydraulic cylinder.
