Suntest IGY3 Series

Manufacturer: Suntest Co.,Ltd
Model: IGY3 Series

Magnetostrictive Displaiacement Transducer

Model GY Series are “Displacement Transducers” employing magnetostrictive phenomena, especially the Wiedemann effect. An ultra-sonic wave is generated by a moving magnet operating near a magnetostrictive wave guide on which the sonic wave propagates up to the head of the transducer.
The propagation time is precisely measured by state of the art technology and then the absolute displacement transducer is operational.

[ Principle ]

The figure shows the fundamental principle of operation.
When a current pulse like A is given to the wave guide, it generates a circumferential magnetic field on the wave guide, then placement of the movable magnet (polarized axially) as shown, only the axial magnetic field of the magnet affecting the wave guide produces a resultant field as indicated by the dotted line.
The vector combination of these two fields produces torsional strain, a phenomenon known as the Wiedemann Effect.
It is a form of vibration and propagates along the wave guide in the form of a transverse ultra-sonic wave.
The GY series displacement transducers detect the propagation time of the ultra-sonic wave.

Intrinsic safety structure

It’s the displacement sensor of intrinsic safety type based upon international standards which can be used at zone 0. (Class 0 hazardous area). Class A grounding (first class grounding) isn’t necessary adopting a power transformer and photo coupler isolation system. Possible to 100°C rod by option.

Construction

  • IGY3 series consist of a probe, a controller, a P/A converter, a magnet (or a float), cable between probe and controller, and 1m cable between controller and P/A converter. (Plastic magnet or float can’t be used by law.)
  • Probe has 1.5m cable with it. In case of extending cable, It is possible to extend max. 400m by using the dedicated cable (2 core with shield). (Please connect extend cable with 1.5m cable of probe in terminal box.)
  • Probe and magnet (or float) should be installed in dangerous zone, and controller and P/A converter should be installed in non dangerous zone.
