Position Transducers up to 3000 mm TLH Series

Special features
rodless design very high operating speed ball coupling avoids side loads long life > 100 x 106 movements outstanding linearity high resolution better than 0.01 mm real-time capability connector to DIN 43650 (hydraulic connector) protection class IP 54

TLH transducers are designed for the direct, accurate measurement of displacement or length in control, regulation and measuring applications. The rodless design allows the actuator to be driven from the side, along the unit length, this allows the total length of the transducer to be shorter and permits stroke lengths up to 4000 mm. The simplicity of the measuring technique both passive and absolute ensures that the transducer is immune to external electrical interference, and that it does not require any built-in power supply to maintain positional information in the event of power failure. Like other potentiometrics, it is a real-time sensor.

A magnetically restrained stainless steel band completely covers the opening through which the actuator operates. The ball coupling is of a new design which prevents forces, generated through parallel or angular offsets, from being transmitted to bearing surfaces. Due to the design and the selected materials the temperature coefficient of the transducer is extremely small. Careful attention to detail and choice of materials has resulted in a transducer with an extremely low temperature drift. The robust design ensures reliable operation even under harsh environmental conditions such as vibration or temperature changes. The TLH series is designed for clamp mounting. The use of clamps simplifies installation and adjustment.

Important
All values given for this series including linearity, lifetime, microlinearity, resistance to external disturbances and temperature coefficient in voltage dividing mode are quoted for the device operating with the wiper voltage driving an operational amplifier working as a voltage follower where virtually no load is applied to the wiper (le 1 A).

Shock Life Operating speed Operating acceleration Protection class

Included in delivery

Mounting instructions
It is recommended that the transducer be mounted upsidedown. Only when orientated in this manner, the drop-off-edges which are parallel to the actuator slot work effectively and a buildup of dirt on the sealing band be prevented when the device is used in a dusty environment.
