En WP Technical Information

The WP series long-stroke transducers are pressure-tight inductive devices designed for accurate displacement measurement in hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders, featuring a robust mechanical design and easy installation. They utilize an eddy-current principle for measurement, with a natural zero position at the stroke's inner end, and require proper calibration for optimal performance. The transducers are supplied with a sleeved core and necessary connectors, and installation guidelines emphasize avoiding electromagnetic interference and ensuring correct wiring connections.

Technical Information

for use of long-stroke transducers, series WP

 Characteristics
Long-range transducers of series WP are pressure-tight inductive transducers, designed for mounting in
hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. A tube-shaped sleeved core moves in axial direction over a cylindrical peg-
shaped transducer. These transducers feature a good body-to-stroke ratio, easy mounting and the capability to
easily and accurately measure displacements of high-dynamics.
Non- or low conductive media do not influence the measurement process.

 The electrical system


The displacement (of the sleeved core inserted in a
Pick-up CF-measuring amplifier Meter
cylinder plunger) is measured in an inductive way, based
upon the eddy-current principle. The sleeved core
influences a magnetic field induced by two coils in a half-
bridge circuit. The variation of this magnetic field is +s USp
picked up as a displacement proportional signal.
One of the two coils is simulated by a compact
equivalent electronic circuitry. Thus, the natural zero is 0
at the inner end position of the stroke (unlike other
inductive systems with a default zero-value at stroke
Ua
~
center).
An inductive transducer is operated using a carrier 0V
frequency (CF) amplifier. The device supplies an AC
voltage USp, amplifies the transducer amplitude-
modulated output signal Ua and converts it to an easy-to-process DC signal (e.g. 0 ... 10 V).

 Mechanical design - Installation


The transducer case is made of high-quality stainless steal.
The electrical system is entirely potted inside the flange. The
transducer can sustain operating pressures of up to 320 bar and
high vibrations loads.
The 2 mm-clearance between sleeved core and transducer case
prevents mechanical contact and eliminates transducer wear-out.
The transducer is flanged to the cylinder bed by 4 screws size-M8.
An O-ring Ø20 x 2,5 provides the pressure sealing.
The sleeved core must be inserted in the cylinder plunger in
accordance with the specified zero. The amplifier's zero trimming
capability allows some adjustment.

 Scope of delivery
The transducer is supplied with the pertaining sleeved core. With a connector interface, the mating connector is
supplied as well.
 Connection
Connect the transducer via a shielded, low-capacitance wire to the amplifier as follows:

MESSOTRON- MESSOTRON-
Transducer Signal measuring amplifier measuring amplifier
MBI 50.33.x MBI 46.31.xx
Wire Connector connector terminal connector terminal
interface interface block block
red B supply voltage ac 4 15 ac 4 15
blue C supply voltage ac 2 16 ac 2 16
white A output ac 8 13 ac 8 13
black not used
shield --- common ac 10 12 ac 12 11

Only on amplifier side (not on transducer side) connect shield to common (0 V).
Precautions: Make sure that transducer connecting wires are not routed parallel to cables leading high current
or control signals. Avoid electromagnetic fields of motors, transformers or thyristor-systems. Observe local
regulations for electric installations (in Germany: VDI/VDE 3551).
With appropriate routing of transducer connecting wire, a distance of up to 250 m between transducer and
amplifier is tolerable.

 Calibration
Perform the calibration at operating temperature and operating pressure.
The natural zero position is at the stroke inner end position, with the sleeved core close to the flange. The zero
position is specified in the data sheet.
After sleeved core mounting (see , mechanical design – installation), set the amplifier by the zero trimmer to
0 V (respectively 4 mA with 4 ... 20 mA-output).
Displace the cylinder plunger by approx. ¾ of its stroke. Compensate for the transducer's phase shift by
adjusting the amplifier's phase trimmer to output signal maximum. Check again zero position setting and re-
adjust as required.
To adjust the amplifier span, displace the cylinder plunger to maximum stroke and set output signal using the
span trimmer to the required full-stroke value (e.g 10 V).
