Balluff BTL6-G500-M0200-PF-S115 Position Sensor

Balluff BTL6-G500-M0200-PF-S115 is a magnetostrictive linear position sensor built in Balluff’s profile-design PF housing, delivering precise position feedback along a 200 mm measuring range with an aluminum, anodized profile enclosure and an IP67 rating for challenging industrial environments. It operates from 10 to 30 V DC and typically draws up to 150 mA, supplying reliable signal output through an 8‑pin M12 connector (S115). The sensor offers dual analog outputs common in PF systems, including 0–10 V voltage and 4–20 mA current, enabling easy integration with standard controllers and PLCs. Key performance figures include a maximum sampling frequency up to 2 kHz, nonlinearity on the order of ±200 µm over the full stroke, and repeat accuracy around ±5 µm, ensuring stable, repeatable position readings in dynamic applications. The BTL6 family’s profile design supports straightforward mounting along rails or fixtures, making it well suited for compact automation assemblies, CNC tool changers, robotics end-effectors, and transfer or pick-and-place equipment where compact form factor and precise linear measurement are critical. With a broad operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C and standard electrical interfaces, this model provides robust measurement in machine tools, packaging lines, and material-handling systems, delivering dependable endpoint and mid-stroke position data without rasterized interpolation or external encoders. In short, the BTL6-G500-M0200-PF-S115 combines Balluff’s magnetostrictive accuracy with a rugged PF profile package, offering reliable 200 mm stroke feedback and proven compatibility with common 0–10 V or 4–20 mA control schemes in tough industrial settings.
