In addition to the classic, inductive Schaevitz displacement transducers and displacement sensors, our displacement transducers (displacement transducers) also include potentiometric displacement transducers, which are especially suitable for OEM applications, and modern, non-contact displacement transducers based on eddy current technology according to the current state of the art.
The inductive displacement transducers from Schaevitz are usually designed according to the differential transformer principle (LVDT Linear Variable Differential Transformer), require a carrier frequency (TF) supply and classically supply a non-amplified AC voltage signal for displacement measurement. A TF amplifier, e.g. type MC-KS, is required for the supply voltage and signal amplification.
Current series already have a corresponding TF amplifier integrated and provide a DC output signal. The available measuring ranges range from +/-0.125 mm to +/-250 mm.
A special form of displacement measurement are the inductive displacement transducers and position transmitters of the LIPS series. These have only a single secondary coil, the non-linear signal is amplified by an ASIC. As a result, the displacement transducers or displacement switches are also only available with voltage (0...5, 0...10, +/-10 V) or current (4...20 mA) signals.
The displacement transducers of the LIPS series are also available in special versions for use in hazardous areas. These intrinsically safe EX displacement transducers are available for the hazardous areas Ex II 1G, Ex II 1GD and Ex i/II M1/1GD. The potentiometric displacement transducers are available in numerous versions for displacement measurement. Our product range mainly includes inexpensive OEM displacement transducers for series production, robust industrial displacement transducers and also versions as displacement sensors.
The non-contact displacement transducers and displacement measuring systems are based on the eddy current principle. As a displacement measurement, the distance to a magnetizable or non-magnetizable metal surface is thus converted into a voltage-proportional measurement signal. Although the non-contact displacement transducers are available with sensors for measuring ranges from 0.5 to 60 mm, most applications are between 1 and 6 mm measuring range. Since the area "illuminated" by the eddy current sensor is between 1.5 and 2.5 times the measuring range, depending on the type of sensor, the target for a measuring range of 60 mm would therefore have to be at least 100 mm in size.
A special design of the non-contact displacement transducers can be used as a ThreadChecker to detect a thread in a threaded hole. This considerably reduces the failure during automated drilling, tapping and screwing.

Based on the resonator principle, Turck has developed a family of novel linear position sensors with an inductive position encoder that can solve many detection and control tasks more efficiently than existing products - and can be flexibly integrated into integrated automation concepts thanks to current/voltage output, SSI or IO-Link interface.

Turck's new inductive linear position sensors can replace more expensive magnetostrictive position sensing systems as well as potentiometer solutions that are susceptible to failure

Detection - Identification - Safeguarding - Controlling – Monitoring
Non-contact sensors (proximity switches, inductive, capacitive and ultrasonic sensors) are used for precision sensing of dynamic motions. Klaschka "All Metal" Sensors and Pulse Sensors are specially designed for very high speeds and challenging applications with switching frequencies higher than 10 kHz.
In combination with measurement relays and controllers, non-contact identification (RFID) and tamper-proof safety switches with extremely large switching distances (safety and security) ensure reliable process steps in plant and machinery.
Klaschka offers a wide range of Double Blank Detectors for sheet detection and thickness measurement in the metal-forming industries. The universal BDK-Doublesheet-Detector-system is firmly established in the automotive industry. For applications that do not need this functionality, there are lower-cost systems of Double Sheet Detectors, Doublesheet Controllers and Sheet Thickness Sensors. These are used in many fields when handling and processing metal and metal-coated materials to avoid damage and downtime.

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.
