Motion Sensors (MSI) modulated carrier (RF) sensors require coupling with our
PA1001A or PA2001 series preamplifiers or other modulated
carrier amplifiers.
When used with the PA1001A or PA2001 preamplifiers, they offer square wave (digital)
output, low speed response, no drag, and large air gaps. They also have the ability to sense non-ferrous metals like
aluminum and stainless steel, in addition to ferrous metals. RF sensors are becoming increasingly popular in
applications such as turbine flowmetering where it is important to sense small, free spinning devices without
inducing drag on the movement of the rotor.
Product Specifications
In addition to the models specified, MSI can make custom RF sensors in other lengths,
diameters, configurations, mounting threads (e.g., metric) as well as with different operating specifications and
options like pigtail leads, NPT threads for explosion proof applications, etc. to satisfy special requirements. The
products below are only a sampling of our product line; if you do not see a sensor that meets your needs, please
contact us and we would be happy to manufacture a product to your specifications.
