Ametek 950Md34.5A0B-0Cc2X Linear Displacement Transducer

The AMETEK Gemco 950MD Mill-Duty Housing for Linear Displacement Transducers is a rugged, stainless‑steel enclosure designed to retrofit hydraulic cylinders with continuous position feedback from a rod‑style LDT, protecting the sensor from damage and environmental exposure in harsh environments. The housing features a 1/2" spherical front rod end with approximately 3/4" of adjustment, a rear trunnion mount for two‑point mounting, and an internal magnet assembly comprising a 1" OD cylinder magnet (SD0410300) located in the rear bearing, which sits about 2" from the end of the transducer hex base when fully retracted and reaches the end of the sensor stroke at full extension. To ensure electrical and mechanical compatibility, the LDT null and dead‑band specifications must be coordinated; older LDTs used a 2" null with a 5" dead band, while contemporary practice often uses a 2" null with a 2.5" or 5" dead band minimum, with the recommendation that the stroke lengths of the 950MD housing and the attached LDT match to keep the magnet within the guide tube. The design embraces a simple two‑point mounting scheme to accommodate lateral machine movement and includes a rear trunnion mount for secure installation, making it a common retrofit solution when a stand‑alone LDT would be impractical. Applications span retrofitting hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders to provide continuous feedback in factory automation, replacing discrete limit switches with a durable, integrated position sensing solution.
