Temposonics RF-series linear position sensors feature a flexible housing for short installation envelopes with long-strokes. Pressure pipe option allows for use in hydraulic applications. Outputs include EtherCAT and SSI. Tefloncoated stainless-steel housing bends to 8-in. minimum radius and allows for up to 15 to 20 position magnets to be used along a single sensor. They accommodate strokes to 10 m, with a measuring range of 255 to 10,060 mm. MTS Systems Corp., Sensors Div., (919) 677-0100, www.mtssensors.com
