IK4A

CONTACTLESS MAGNETOSTRICTIVE LINEAR POSITION

TRANSDUCER (ANALOG OUTPUT)

Main characteristics

• Absolute measurement of position and speed

• Strokes from 50 to 4000 mm
• Wide range of connectors for the electrical connection
• Rod, nipple, exagonal flange AISI 316
• Work temperature: -30°…+75°C
• Resistance to vibrations (DIN IEC68T2/6 12g)
• Conforms to EC directives (EN 50081-2 50082-1)
• Power supply 24Vdc ± 20%
• Protection IP67

Contactless linear position transducer with magnetostrictive techno-

logy.
The analog interface, available with various output ranges in voltage
or in current, guarantees simpler installation and easier adaptation to
existing systems.
The absence of electrical contact on the cursor eliminates all wear
and guarantees almost unlimited life
The IK4 line’s new mechanical structure offers improved features for
in-cylinder use, including a series of new multi-connector models, free
rotation of the connector head, and replacement of internal electronics
without removal of the transducer.

ANALOG OUTPUT

The magnetostrictive transducers of the IK4A series supply

a direct analogue output in voltage (0...10Vdc) and current
(4...20mA and 0...20mA).
All the outputs can have reverse action (10...0Vdc;
20...4ma; 20...0mA).
The signal is proportional to The outputs are direct, no signal conditioning is required if
