Temposonics is a recognized industry leader in sensor technologies and solutions. These sensors and transmitters enable high-precision and dynamic position and/or velocity measurement in modern automation and safety-related systems. Furthermore, the sensor solutions are also designed for mobile applications as well as for level systems. With a diverse and growing product portfolio and a focus on excellent regional support, Temposonics works closely with customers to optimize performance and reduce downtime.
Outstanding quality combined with practical know-how ensures maximum productivity and success for customers.Continuous research, development and production of sensor systemsmake it possible to constantly find new solutions for measurement tasks in the fields of industrial,mobile hydraulics as well as process technology.
Since April 2021, Temposonics has been part of Amphenol Corporation (NYSE: APH). Amphenol is one of the largest manufacturers of interconnect products in the world. The company designs, manufactures and markets electrical, electronic and fiber optic connectors, coaxial and ribbon cables, and interconnect systems. As a manufacturer of sensor solutions, Temposonics fits into the portfolio of the Amphenol group of companies, allowing customers to benefit from an expanded, complementary product selection.

The absolute, linear position sensors provided by MTS Sensors rely on the company’s proprietary Temposonics® magnetostrictive technology, which can determine position with a high level of precision and robustness.
Each Temposonics® position sensor consists of a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, a strain pulse converter and supporting electronics. The magnet, connected to the object in motion in the application, generates a magnetic field at its location on the waveguide. A short current pulse is applied to the waveguide. This creates a momentary radial magnetic field and torsional strain on the waveguide. The momentary interaction of the magnetic fields releases a torsional strain pulse that propagates the length of the waveguide. When the ultrasonic wave reaches the end of the waveguide it is converted into an electrical signal. Since the speed of the ultrasonic wave in the waveguide is precisely known, the time required to receive the return signal can be converted into a linear position measurement with both high accuracy and repeatability.
The Temposonics® technology, based on magnetostriction, does not rely on moving parts and is not exposed to mechanical stress. Therefore, the sensors exhibit considerably longer lifespans and much higher reliability when compared to other technologies, even in harsh working conditions. Furthermore, since the output from sensors with Temposonics® technology corresponds to an absolute position, rather than a relative value, it is not required to recalibrate sensors.
