The Temposonics model RP sensor offers modular construction, flexible mounting configurations and easy installation.
MTS Sensors Product Specification 550992 D
A choice of two magnet mounting configurations are
available with the profile-style sensor; the captive-
sliding magnet or the floating (open ring) magnet.
Captive-sliding magnets utilize slide bearings of
special material that reduce friction, and if required,
help mitigate dirt build up. The slide bearings are
designed to operate dry, requiring no external
lubrication or maintenance.
The floating magnet (open ring) mounts on the
moving machine part and travels just above the
sensor’s profile extrusion. The open ring magnet
(style M) requires a minimum distance away from
ferrous metals to allow proper sensor output. It
must be mounted using non-ferrous screws and a
non-ferrous support bracket, or utilize a non-ferrous
spacer of at least 5 mm (0.2 in.) thickness.
