Linear absolute position measuring system or the magnetostriction is used for measuring linear movements in aggressive media. The device is housed in a stainless steel and pressure resistant tubular casing. This makes it possible for the device to be installed in hydraulic cylinders. The instrument is comes in various versions such as one with a separate external cladding tube which allows for the measuring system's easy changeover in hydraulic cylinders. The device may be fitted with multiple magnetic scanners for acquiring the position of several magnets simultaneously.
Linear absolute position measuring system is also available in a polypropylene housing when it is required in media that is chemically aggressive. This type of level encoder may also be used for level measurement in the food industry. It can also be used in electroplating applications. It can be mounted on various installations and machines. The device is available with or without magnetic guidance. The system can be customized for integration with surfaces so that there are no edges where production waste may get trapped.
