AMS-3946 Displacement Sensor
Compact and robust displacement sensor for reliable magnetic material detection in harsh industrial environments.
Key features
- Measuring range from 1 to 5 mm
- Optional pressure resistance up to 22,500 psi
- IP67 stainless steel housing
- Adjustable gain and offset
- Output: 0-10 VDC standard
- Bandwidth up to 5 kHz
Performance highlights
The AMS 3946 is a high-performance displacement sensor designed for detecting magnetic materials with precision and reliability. It features a compact signal conditioning module, offering a wide gain and offset adjustment range, and high-speed response with a bandwidth of 5 kHz.
Usage conditions
Designed for demanding environments, the AMS 3946 operates reliably between -20°C and +80°C. The stainless steel housing ensures IP67 protection, and an optional hermetic all-welded version is available for extreme durability. Pressure capabilities range from 500 psi up to an optional 22,500 psi.
Possible applications:
- Magnetic target position detection
- Machine condition monitoring
- Runout or shaft displacement measurement
- Hydraulic cylinder position feedback
- Precision machinery diagnostics
