The TFD-4000 Series

Touchless Linear Position Sensors

Sept. 13, 2022
Novotechnik’s TFD-4000 offerings are well suited for a wide range of applications.

Ideal for applications ranging from packaging and healthcare to construction and forestry, the TFD-4000 Series of touchless linear position sensors provide wear-free operation in tight spaces. Maximum sensor dimensions are 40 × 27 × 7 mm thin. Sensing direction can be either parallel or perpendicular to mounting holes.

The TFD-4000 Series utilizes a magnetic position marker to provide a touchless measurement range of 0 to 14, 24 or 50 mm, depending on model. These sensors makes measurements through air and non-magnetic materials. Magnetic position marker mounts to users application.

 Key specifications include ingress protection from liquids and dust to IP 67, resolution of 12 bits, repeatability of ≤0.1% of full scale and optional second channel for applications requiring redundancy. TFD-4000 Series sensors have analog voltage output and an operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
