A cylinder magnetostrictive displacement sensor, also known as a magnetostrictive linear position sensor for cylinders, is a specialized device used to measure the linear displacement or position of a piston or rod within a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder. These sensors utilize the magnetostrictive effect to accurately determine the position of the cylinder's moving component without physical contact. They are commonly used in various industrial applications to monitor and control the position of hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders .
Waveguide and Magnetic Interaction: The sensor consists of a waveguide tube that extends into the cylinder along the path of the piston or rod. Inside the waveguide, there is a magnetostrictive wire.
Interrogation Magnet: At the end of the piston or rod, there is a magnet. This magnet generates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetostrictive wire.
Magnetostrictive Effect and Stress Wave Propagation: When an electrical current pulse is sent through the magnetostrictive wire, it generates a magnetic field around the wire. This magnetic field interacts with the magnet's field, causing the magnetostrictive wire to change shape due to the magnetostrictive effect. This change in shape generates a stress wave that travels along the waveguide.
Time-of-Flight Measurement: The sensor measures the time it takes for the stress wave to travel from the point of current application to the magnet and back. This time of flight is directly proportional to the distance between the sensor head and the magnet, which corresponds to the linear position of the piston or rod.
Position Calculation: By knowing the speed of the stress wave propagation and the time it takes for the wave to travel, the sensor accurately determines the position of the magnet (and thus the piston or rod) within the cylinder.
High Accuracy: Cylinder magnetostrictive displacement sensors offer high accuracy and resolution in measuring linear displacement.
Hydraulic systems: Monitoring the position of pistons in hydraulic cylinders for precise control.
Pneumatic systems: Position sensing in pneumatic cylinders for automation and control.
Industrial machinery: Measuring the position of moving parts and actuators.
Automation and robotics: Position monitoring in robotic arms, grippers, and linear actuators.
