Santest GYTLC-08-B-250-24S-D Magnetostrictive Displacement Transducer

Santest GYTLC-08-B-250-24S-D is a magnetostrictive displacement transducer in the GY Series that provides absolute, non-contact linear position feedback along a rod. It uses the Wiedemann effect: a short ultrasonic pulse is launched in a magnetostrictive wave guide as a moving magnet interacts with a circumferential magnetic field, and the pulse’s return timing yields displacement without any mechanical contact. This approach delivers continuous position data for high-precision automation, machine tools, CNC axes, and robotics where wear-free sensing is advantageous. The transducer is designed for 24 V DC operation, consistent with Santest’s standard power requirement for GY-series sensors. The GYTLC-08-B-250-24S-D designation identifies a specific variant within the Santest GY lineup, enabling integration into systems that require accurate, absolute displacement information without contact or wear of moving parts.
