Magnetostrictive sensors
Reliable even for long distances and rough conditions
Magnetostrictive position measurement systems come into use generally where high reliability and precision are demanded in position and speed measurement.
Over long distances, our contact-free and absolute measuring systems are suitable for all industry-standard interfaces and for a wide range of applications. Even under extreme surrounding conditions, they guarantee a high machine and system availability.
The most important benefits
