Balluff-linear-position-sensorBalluff’s Micropulse TA12 hazardous area linear position sensor is now available with new features and improved performance, while maintaining 100% backward compatibility to the existing BTL5 TA12.

Key Features and Benefits

Non-contact, wear-free magnetostrictive technology provides long-term reliability
Measuring ranges up to 7620 mm (300″)
USB configuration capability for simple in-application customization (PLUS version)
Dual-position magnet capability allows monitoring of two independent motions (PLUS version)
Field-replaceable electronics module for fast, easy in-cylinder repairs
Wide operating temperature range: Standard: -40 to +80°C (-40°F to +176°F) Extended low temperature operation: -50°C (SA418 option, consult factory)
Available interfaces: Analog voltage/current, Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
Worldwide Class I, Div 1/Class I, Zone 1 hazardous area approvals extend global reach
Rugged, corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel housing

The TA12 linear position sensor is ideal for position feedback applications on hydraulically-actuated valves and in hydraulic cylinders located in hazardous locations. The TA12 is also ideal for level monitoring and turbine speed control applications.
