Balluff BTL08TM BTL5-E50-M0051-J-DEXC-TA12 Linear Position Sensor

The Balluff BTL08TM paired with the BTL5-E50-M0051-J-DEXC-TA12 configuration is a magnetostrictive Micropulse linear position sensor in a rod-style, explosion-protected housing designed for hazardous areas, with absolute position output via the TA12 electronics. Constructed from 1.4404 stainless steel, it features a 10.2 mm protective tube, a mounting flange of Ø18h6 with through-holes, a housing diameter of 88.00 mm, a zero reference at 50.8 mm, and a mounting length from the contact surface of 179 mm. Key performance specs include repeatability ≤ 5 µm, linearity error ≤ ±100 µm, a measuring rate up to 1 kHz, and measuring ranges up to 7,620 mm, delivering precise position data along a long stroke. The Ex-rated variant is designed for zones 0 and 1 (with variants supporting additional hazardous areas), and the electronics module is exchangeable, aligning with Balluff’s Micropulse TA12 lineup for quick service in demanding environments.
