Series 18 Profile Magnetostrictive Displacement Sensor Application Cases

The Series 18 is characterised by profile mounting: the sensor is fixed alongside the mechanism via ball-joint ends or U/V brackets, or optionally built directly into the machine, adapting to a wide variety of mechanical structures. Outputs cover analog voltage/current and Start-Stop digital signals.

The profile design keeps the sensor free of direct contact with moving parts, protecting the rod while simplifying maintenance. Typical uses include positioning on automated lines, precision displacement measurement, test benches and stroke feedback on all kinds of equipment. Combined with a high-performance electronics module, the Series 18 delivers stable, reliable measurement in a compact package.

For machines with limited installation space or requiring frequent removal, the profile and built-in versions of the Series 18 offer a flexible choice — a cost-effective solution for OEMs integrating precision displacement measurement.
