Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What can be connected to the SSI TP1 magnetostrictive transducer?
It can be connected to Novotechnik M12 connectors and cables, Novotechnik M16 connectors and cables, Novotechnik linear sensor couplings and fixings, and Novotechnik linear sensor positioners (magnets and cursors).
How do I order the SSI TP1 magnetostrictive transducer?
The order code has six fields: stroke (mm), mechanical version, interface, signal, resolution, and code and connection. For example, TP1-0800-101-211-102 is the version with an 800 mm electrical range, profile design, 24-bit SSI, binary code with 5 µm resolution, and an 8-pin M12x1 connector. All the options for each field are available in the order code configurator on this page.
Under what conditions does the SSI TP1 magnetostrictive transducer operate?
Operating temperature: -40 … +85 °C. Protection: IP67.
