WRG-A

CONTACTLESS MAGNETOSTRICTIVE LINEAR POSITION

TRANSDUCER (ANALOG OUTPUT)

Main characteristics
• Magnetostrictive technology
• Strokes from 50 to 1500 mm
• Optimized mechanical structure
• Rod, nipple, exagonal flange AISI 316
• Work temperature: -20....+75°C
• Resistance to vibrations (DIN IEC68T2/6 12g)
• Power supply 24Vdc ± 20%
• Protection IP67
• Electromagnetic compatibility EMC 2014/30/EU
• Compliant to the directive RoHS 2011/65/EU

Contactless linear position transducer with magnetostrictive

technology.
The absence of electrical contact on the cursor eliminates all wear
and guarantees almost unlimited life.
The analog interface, available with different voltage ranges or in
current, with direct and reverse output guarantees greater flexibility
of installation and adaptation to pre-existing systems.
High accuracy of the mesurement with reference to the non linearity,
repeatability and hysteresis. High resistance to vibrations, mechanical
shocks for use in a harsh industrial environment.

ANALOG OUTPUT

The magnetostrictive transducers

of the WRG-A series supply a direct
and reverse analogue output in
The signal is proportional to voltage (0....10 / 10....0 Vcc) and
the position of the magnet current (4...20 mA / 20...4 mA).
The outputs are direct, no signal
max U/I conditioning is required if they

are interfaced with a controller or
