Complete introduction of Magnetostrictive Linear Position Sensor
BALLUFF BTL5-E10-M3550-P-S32 sensor is one of the most accurate and reliable linear positioning sensors in the BTL5 series of the German company Balluff. This sensor works with magnetostrictive technology; That is, without mechanical contact, it detects the movement of a magnet along the length of the sensor and transmits the linear position to the control system with very high accuracy. For this reason, high durability, high accuracy and stable performance are its main features.
This model is an ideal choice for industrial machinery, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, power cylinders, robotics, production lines, and wherever there is a need for accurate and wear-free linear measurement.

Features and performance of BTL5-E10-M3550-P-S32 sensor
This sensor is designed for use in harsh industrial environments and is resistant to dust, moisture and impact due to the use of anodized aluminum body and IP67 protection standard. This model usually works with 24V DC power supply and the analog output of 4-20mA or similar models in the same series allows direct connection to industrial controllers and PLCs.
Due to the use of magnetostrictive technology, position measurement is done without contact; Therefore, no parts suffer wear or mechanical failure, and the useful life of the sensor is very long. Very high linear accuracy, good repeatability, and quick response are features that make this model chosen for sensitive applications.
