Inductive Linear Transducer MAC

Reliable linear measurement in harsh environments

MAC series LVDT linear sensors are designed for applications requiring compact, robust sensors with a long service life and high accuracy. Preferred for use in harsh environmental conditions, they cover short to long measuring ranges of 2 mm to 200 mm. With IP65 protection as standard (IP67/68 available on request), the MAC series is also suitable for demanding environments involving moisture, dust or mechanical stress.

Linear movement is detected via a single-sided guided or loose push rod, without contact. The following options are available: 

• MACG with double-sided guided rod ends to compensate for vertical or horizontal misalignment
• MACT is a probe variant with an encased return spring
• MACL with a loose push rod for free mechanical coupling

Depending on the variant, measuring lengths from ±1 mm to ±100 mm are possible.

This is a high-precision, durable measuring system with LVDT technology.
The inductive measuring principle is based on a permanently encapsulated LVDT coil and operates without contact. This enables a very long service life and high dynamics, even with small oscillating movements. Linearity is ±1% F.S. as standard, or ±0.25% for short measuring ranges. The resolution is practically unlimited.

Options:

• Measuring lengths: ±1 mm to ±100 mm
• Linearity: ±1%, optional ±0.25% (not for ≥100 mm)
• Connection variants: Cable (1 m) or 5-pin plug
• Accessories (optional): Counter plug (M16), clamping flange, mounting block, core extension
• Customized adaptations: Cable assembly, plugs, special axes, probe tips, increased protection classes (IP67/IP68)
