R-Series Rod Model RS Absolute Non-Contact Position Sensor

Brand: Temposonics an Amphenol Company

The extremely robust Temposonics RS sensor with super shield housing ensures long-term linear position measurement in the harshest environments. 

Hermetically sealed with a housing completely made of stainless steel, it meets the requirements of protection modes IP68 and IP69K and is reliably shielded against corrosion and penetration of dirt and water. 

Due to non-contact measuring technology, sensor integration into a hermetically sealed housing is possible. A position magnet moves along the outside of the pressure-resistant sensor pipe and marks the position without mechanical contact. 

For level measurement, an optional float can be used. The modular sensor cartridge design enables the customer to choose the specific sensor output configurations to be installed within the super shield housing to best fit their application requirements. 

The measuring accuracy and all technical data correspond to the features of the sensor selected inside the housing. A wide choice of interfaces (Analog, Profibus, SSI, CANbus, EtherCAT) is available. 

Moreover, integration of ATEX-certified and intrinsically safe sensors is possible with the protective housing.
