Product Introduction
Core Working Principle
The LA-66-K-PB operates on the magnetostrictive principle for absolute linear measurement.
It generates a sonic pulse along a waveguide inside the sensor rod.
The T4-M33 magnet triggers a return pulse when passing the sensing element.
By measuring pulse travel time, the system calculates exact position with high stability.
This non-contact method ensures zero mechanical wear and long service life.
Electrical & Interface Specifications
The encoder runs on a wide voltage range of 19–27 VDC.
Typical unloaded current remains below 250 mA for low power consumption.
It uses Profibus DP (RS485 physical layer) for fast, reliable digital communication.
The interface supports binary code and complies with standard Profibus protocols.
Users can program resolution, counting direction, and preset values via TRWinProg software.
Measurement Performance
Standard measuring stroke spans 150 mm to 3000 mm (customizable on request).
It provides a high resolution of 0.01 mm for precise positioning tasks.
Linearity error stays below 0.05% across full measuring range.
Repeatability reaches 0.01 mm, ensuring consistent measurement accuracy.
Temperature coefficient is less than 8 µm/°C for strokes ≤500 mm.
Mechanical & Environmental Traits
Stainless steel housing and rod provide excellent corrosion and pressure resistance.
It withstands static pressure up to 600 bar, perfect for hydraulic cylinders.
Operating temperature ranges from -20°C to +70°C.
Vibration resistance: ≤100 m/s² (50–2000 Hz); shock resistance: ≤1000 m/s² (11 ms).
IP65 rating protects against dust and low-pressure water jets in industrial settings.
Installation & Magnet Compatibility
Install using hydraulic flange mounting for stable, secure integration.
Align the T4-M33 magnet parallel to the sensor rod with proper air gap.
Maintain specified distance to ensure reliable magnetic signal detection.
Connect Profibus DP and power cables via radial PG9 connectors.
Seal all connections properly to preserve IP65 protection rating.
