MH-Series MH Threaded Analog Linear Position Sensor

Brand: Temposonics an Amphenol Company

The Temposonics MH-Series sensors are specifically designed for direct stroke measurement in hydraulic cylinders. 

The MH Threaded sensor extends the rugged design of the Temposonics MH Series sensors to external threaded installations. A MTS M12 connector system ensures protection to IP69K. 

The inherent absolute capabilities ensure that the MH Threaded sensor is always ready. With two connections styles, the responsive magnetostrictive linear position sensors can be integrated into most installations. 

Temposonics® MH Threaded sensors can be used in applications where access is available from the outside of the cylinder. 

Example applications include lift and tilt cylinders, hydraulic jacks, and hydraulic steering systems in agricultural and construction machinery.
