TEMPOSONICS MH-SERIES SLIM

Temposonics GmbH & Co. KG Announces a Compact Position Sensor for Off-Highway Machinery Automation

We are proud to announce the launch of the MH-Series SLIM, a new compact magnetostrictive sensor for use in short stroke hydraulic cylinders where minimal pin-to-pin distance is a priority. The breakthrough design of the new sensor, multiple patents pending, reduces the size of the magnetostrictive sensor to a minimal form factor which is ideal for small bore cylinders on off-highway machinery including agricultural and farming equipment, construction and paving machines, fork truck/material handlers, and many more.


“The SLIM is a completely new sensor design,” said Global Market Segment Leader Mobile Hydraulics Lee Aiken. “We have taken the same rugged Temposonics magnetostrictive technology which has proven itself for nearly 50 years in the world’s harshest environments and combined the sensing element and supporting electronics into a single assembly that fits into a 10mm pipe. In addition to its small size, the SLIM sensor retains the inherent advantages of magnetostriction: non-contact operation, absolute measurement, outstanding accuracy and performance even in applications with high shocks and vibration.” 

The new SLIM sensor is available with a full set of options for off-highway machine integrators and cylinder manufacturers. Threaded and embedded mounting options are designed to easily drop into new builds or existing cylinder designs using Hall Effect sensors from Temposonics or others. Like all mobile hydraulic sensors from Temposonics, the SLIM works with a variety of standard off-the-shelf magnets and a wide range of connector options from Amphenol, TE/DEUTSCH, and others. The SLIM is now available with CANbus (J1939 & CANopen) output, with analog support coming soon, ensuring seamless controller integration.

“Besides the benefits of the SLIM sensor, Temposonics has a competitive advantage as a company with manufacturing locations in both the US and Europe along with customer support around the globe,” said Mobile Hydraulic Global Market Segment Leader, Lee Aiken. “Whether you're in the material handling, paving, or agriculture industry, you can rely on the SLIM to deliver precise motion control and Temposonics to delivery Total Customer Satisfaction.”
