955S Smart BRIK

Magnetostrictive LDT

In A Low Profile Package

The 955S Smart BRIK is an accurate, programmable

zero and span, auto-tuning, non-contact linear position

sensor in an economical, low profile package. The sensor

utilizes our field proven magnetostrictive technology to

give absolute position, repeatable to .01% of the sensing

distance. The 955S Smart BRIK is a cost effective linear

sensing solution.

The streamlined anodized aluminum extrusion houses the

sensing element and electronics. The magnet slide moves

over the sensing element that determines the position

and converts it to a readable output. The 955S Smart

BRIK is a self-contained unit and does not have a can

or head assembly. All of the electronics are incorporated

in the transducer which is less than one inch tall. Units

can be ordered in span lengths up to 180 inches long

in 0.1 inch increments. The magnet slide is designed to

move effortlessly along the transducer in guide tracks or

a floating magnet assembly can be positioned above the

unit.

A variety of hardware is available for attaching the magnet

slide to the moving portion of the process. The transducer

can be mounted vertically or horizontally using our

mounting feet which slide on the lower part of the extrusion

and clamp down when tightened. This packaging provides

a compact and easy method of mounting for machine

builders.

The transducer can be ordered with 0 to 10 VDC, 4 to

20mA, or -10 to 10 VDC output. All units are provided

with a standard quick disconnect connector. A unique

feature is the diagnostic LED that remains green when

a good magnet signal is present and when in the active

programmed area. The LED turns yellow when the magnet

is out of the programmed active range but still within the

active stroke area. The LED turns red when there is no

magnet present or the magnet assembly is out of the

sensing area.

The 955S Smart BRIK is designed for applications where

economical continuous feedback is necessary. The sensor

can be a cost effective replacement to limit and proximity

sensors and linear potentiometers. Applications include

presses, blow molding, injection molding, extruding, roll

positioning and many more.

As an added benefit, the 955S is FM approved for Class

I, Div 2, Groups A, B, C, D applications when installed

and wired per drawing E0241100 as shown in the manual.

If your application does not require FM Class I, Div 2

approval, wire the 955S using a standard 4 pin Euro

cordset from Ametek or others.
