Radial mounting magnetostrictive sensors
Precise cylinder position measurement with relevant process data in K-rod design
Magnetostrictive sensors are precise and reliable position measurement systems and are therefore essential for modern industrial applications. The BTL K in rod design for continuous position measurement in hydraulic cylinders completes the Balluff portfolio in this area.
Thanks to its compact housing and radial mounting points, the new BTL K can be conveniently integrated into a wide range of applications in various industries. In addition to the precision typical of the sensors in this portfolio, it also scores points for its great robustness and durability thanks to its use of corrosion-free stainless steel.
IO-Link and SAMS for efficient processes
Small but powerful: The BTL K in rod design has an IO-Link interface. This simplifies sensor parameterization and makes its use more flexible. The BTL K also supports cross-machine process monitoring and optimization with the smart, expanded IO-Link features of Balluff's SAMS (Smart Automation and Monitoring System) portfolio. With these added features, you not only achieve your daily goals but can also reduce machine downtimes in the long term. In short, these magnetostrictive sensors use a proven measuring principle with high precision, now with more powerful and smarter IO-Link features.
