ME sensors use a simple coil design rather than "time-of-flight" technology or resistive film. Duplicating the head end of typical embedded sensors, the head of an ME series sensor fits into the same 48 mm diameter cavity as a magnetostrictive sensor or potentiometer fitted into the end housing of a cylinder. For applications where an ME sensor is replacing an existing magnetostrictive sensor, the magnet ring can usually be left in place without significantly affecting the performance of the ME Series sensor.
Besides the ME series embeddable cylinder sensor, Alliance Sensor Group also offers a port mounted version called the MR Series, plus a full line of heavy duty LVDTs and electronics for measuring position in power plants, industrial manufacturing, and process control applications.
