Alliance Sensors SS-7 Series linear position sensors

The SS-7 Series linear position sensors are designed to be used to measure the ram position of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in industrial, mobile or subsea applications. This model features a no-magnet design, reducing installation and cost of ownership without sacrificing accuracy specifications.

The sensors come in four versions: ME (embedded version), MR (port-mount version), MHP (port-mount 25 mm hex housing) and SS-7 (subsea port-mount), and fit into a gun-drilled cylinder similar to how a magnetostrictive sensor would be installed but without the counterbore necessary for the magnet.

The SS-7 Series can operate to a depth of 3600 m. The typical measurement range is from 25 to 600 mm, with a choice of DC voltage or current output. Housings are IEC IP67 aluminium or stainless steel, while maximum operating temperature is 85°C (with 105°C versions available).
