Ametek 956AC40230X Linear Position Transducer

The Ametek 956AC40230X BLOK LDT is a self-contained analog-output linear displacement transducer housed in the rugged 956 Blok two‑chamber rod‑and‑barrel enclosure, designed to provide absolute position feedback without a separate can or head assembly. It uses magnetostrictive sensing to deliver position with repeatability to 0.006% of the programmable sensing distance, and the electronics and magnet assembly are integrated inside the enclosure for a compact, serviceable package. The C4 option specifies a 4–20 mA current output and an operating supply of 13.5 to 30 VDC, using a standard 5‑pin Micro 12 mm Euro connector for wiring. In common 956A BLOK configurations, this family includes 13.0" and 22.0" stroke variants with three diagnostic LEDs to indicate status, IP67 enclosure protection, and an operating temperature range from −20 to 70 °C. The design is intended for installations where mounting a traditional rod- or profile-style LDT is prohibitive, offering absolute position in a compact, rugged form factor suitable for harsh environments and demanding applications.
