Non-contact absolute linear displacement sensor for renewable energy
Sensor for angle control of solar panels.
The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is being called for worldwide, and the need for renewable energy generation is expected to increase globally, along with its generating capacity. However, the installation environment is extremely harsh, requiring reliability and durability at the component level. Temposonics non-contact linear scales are highly durable against severe conditions such as shock, vibration, and temperature, and are made of SUS rods, making them unaffected by water, oil, or dust. Additionally, they only require magnets for position detection, eliminating the need for power/signal cables. This contributes to improved power generation efficiency and reduced maintenance costs, benefiting the global environment.

Temposonics introduced a non-contact, high-precision, and cost-effective non-contact absolute sensor method to the market in the early 1970s, using the magnetostrictive effect (Weidmann effect) for position measurement, which had previously been dominated by incremental methods. As a leading company in magnetostrictive sensors, we are committed to improving accuracy as position sensors, engaging in research and development, and enhancing quality to meet the needs of the industrial sector. Our sensors are increasingly being adopted not only as linear sensors to replace rotary encoders, linear encoders, and potentiometers but also in various industries such as hydraulics, pneumatics, water pressure, injection molding, welding, printing, textiles, construction machinery, wind power generation, metal processing, as well as in disaster prevention sensors like landslide sensors and bridge sensors. Temposonics will continue to develop further and strive day and night to be of service as a leading company in industrial sensors.
