955S Smart BRIK0 pages

The 955S Smart BRIK is an accurate, programmable zero and span, auto-tuning, non-contact linear position sensor in an economical, low profile package. The sensor utilizes our field proven magnetostrictive technology to give absolute position, repeatable to .01% of the sensing distance. The 955S Smart BRIK is a cost effective linear sensing solution.
The streamlined anodized aluminum extrusion houses the sensing element and electronics. The magnet slide moves over the sensing element that determines the position and converts it to a readable output. The 955S Smart BRIK is a self-contained unit and does not have a can or head assembly. All of the electronics are incorporated in the transducer which is less than one inch tall.
Units can be ordered in span lengths up to 180 inches long in 0.1 inch increments. The magnet slide is designed to move effortlessly along the transducer in guide tracks or a floating magnet assembly can be positioned above the unit. A variety of hardware is available for attaching the magnet slide to the moving portion of the process. The transducer can be ordered with 0 to10 VDC, 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 5 VDC, -5 to 5 VDC, or
-10 to 10 VDC output. All units are provided with a standard quick disconnect connector. A unique feature is the diagnostic

955 Series
LED that remains green when a good magnet signal is present and when in the active programmed area. The LED turns yellow when the magnet is out of the programmed active range but still within the active stroke area. The LED turns red when there is no magnet present or the magnet assembly is out of the sensing area.
The transducer can be mounted vertically or horizontally using our mounting feet which slide on the lower part of the extrusion and clamp down when tightened. This packaging provides a compact and easy method of mounting for machine builders.
The 955S Smart BRIK is designed for applications where economical continuous feedback is necessary. The sensor can be a cost effective replacement to limit and proximity sensors and linear potentiometers. Applications include presses, blow molding, injection molding, extruding, roll positioning and many more.
As an added benefit, the 955S is FM approved for Class I, Div 2, Groups A, B, C, D applications when installed and wired per drawing E0241100 as shown in the manual. If your application does not require FM Class I, Div 2 approval, wire the 955S using a standard 4 pin Euro cordset from Ametek or others.
