The BMP series from Balluff is an intelligent displacement sensor that provides not only the absolute position signal for the stroke travel of a piston via IO-Link but also information about the sensor status and the current ambient conditions. It monitors the sensor temperature and the number of starts and issues warnings when a configurable […]
Fast and synchronous linear-position sensing with Balluff’s magnetostrictive technology
Simple wiring, continuous diagnostics, and parameter setting through a controller are among the benefits of Balluff’s line of linear-position sensors with an Ethernet/IP interface. These Balluff Micropulse linear-position sensors are accurate and reliable and come in an array of configurations to satisfy myriad application requirements. The magnetostrictive sensors also have a flexible magnet mode (FMM) that lets design engineers program axes […]
Linear encoders for motion applications
Whether a linear system uses servo or stepper motors, adding a linear encoder can improve the performance of the machine and the quality of the process. In servo applications, the motor’s rotary encoder monitors its speed and direction, but a linear encoder monitors the load’s actual position. When stepper motors are used, position monitoring is especially important, […]
