Since more than 35 years MTS Sensors is the leading manufacturer of magnetostrictive linear position sensors. Temposonics ® sensors are specially designed to meet the needs of wind mills. They measure for exam ple the angle of the rotor blades or are used for position measurement in the rotor locks.

The high-performance sensor electronics provide an output signal with a high signal-to-noise ratio. Temposonics ® position sensors are extremely robust and deliver precise measuring results. They actively in crease the efficiency and availability of the turbine. Even in harsh environm ents, they do not need additional maintenance or recalibration, because they detect p ositions without contact and free of wear. Temperature stability, resistance to shock and vibration, and electromagnetic compatibility are additional benefi ts. Their absolute measurement method ensures that they are ready for operation im mediately after start-up or after a breakdown. As a result of their easy installation , they are a clever replacement for worn, drift-prone position measuring systems.

At EWEA 2013 MTS Sensor Technologie presents linear position sensors for in- cylinder-integration (models RH und EH) as well as a compact sensor with an external electronics head and a flexible, oil-proof PUR cable (model RD4) for use in standard clevis head cylinders or any space limited cylinder.
