About this manual

This datasheet details the technical specifications of the Temposonics R-Series V RH5 SSI magnetostrictive linear position sensor. It features high shock and vibration resistance, a minimum resolution of 0.1 µm, and supports synchronous measurement with up to 10 kHz update rate. The sensor uses magnetostrictive technology to measure position via torsional strain pulses. It is available with internal linearization and supports differential measurement between two position magnets. The sensor operates in harsh environments with IP67/68 ingress protection and a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
