Automated Control is excited to announce that ASM has extended its range of magnetostrictive position sensors with the new PCST27 series. The PCST27 offers high-precision, fail-safe measurement on hydraulic cylinders and fluid levels in extreme environments.

The robust probe sensors allow for precise positioning of hydraulic cylinders or the measurement of fluid levels. The models in the PCST27 series have proven their superior reliability, even after years of use under the most extreme conditions.

As with all models in the POSICHRON® PCST27 series, the sensors consist of a magnetostrictive waveguide and a movable position magnet. Based on magnetically generated density waves and the measurement of time pulses, this measurement principle is ideal for applications that demand extreme precision and repeatability.
