Injection molding means long strokes, hot oil. Pick in-cylinder versus external magnetostrictive displacement sensors for 0.5-3 m, 12.7 mm bores.
Magnetostrictive displacement sensor vs LVDT vs potentiometer: brushes wear, LVDTs fit under 300 mm, while this one runs 50 mm to metres non-contact.
How a magnetostrictive displacement sensor reads position: waveguide, ring and head split magnetostriction from Wiedemann near 2830 m/s.
Analog or fieldbus for a magnetostrictive displacement sensor? Pick by PLC interface, axis count and diagnostics, drawing the 4-20 mA vs CANopen line.
