Image ME-7

The ME-7 Series LVIT (Linear Variable Inductance Transducer) Position Sensors from Alliance Sensors Group has been designed as an alternative to magnetostrictive sensors and has more robust construction and a lower cost of ownership. The unit can be embedded into the end cap of industrial or mobile hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic actuators.

These ME-7 Series sensors are based on a proprietary contactless inductive sensing technology that employs a 7 mm diameter probe with a shorter stroke-to-length ratio than most other technologies, and uses a gun drilled hole in the cylinder rod for sensing the rod position rather than requiring a ring magnet assembly.

An ME-7 has a 1.89 inch (48 mm) diameter sensor head with an o-ring and back up ring in a groove, so it can be mounted in the same cavity in the cylinder cap and locked in with radial set screws just like a magnetostrictive sensor. Because they are contactless, ME-7 Series sensors do not wear out and have no output signal deterioration over the life of the sensors, and because it uses an inductive coil, an ME-7 sensor can withstand much greater shock and vibrations than other technologies. A very useful element of the ME-7 sensors is ASG’s proprietary SenSet feature whereby a sensor’s analog output can be adjusted in the field after installation to match the range of motion of the cylinder rod. For more information see the technical data sheet below.
