Twiist technology
The heart of TWIIST technology is a Hall-effect 3D sensor, mounted on an electronic board and coupled to a magnetic field generated by a helical magnet. This design allows the sensor to move freely within the magnet in a linear fashion.
By measuring the variation of the angle of the magnetic field vector along the cylindrical case, it is possible to determine the precise position of the Hall-effect integrated circuit and then accurately measure the displacement. This approach allows for a greater scalability of sensor length compared to traditional multi-chip Hall-effect implementations.
TWIIST technology is patented, ensuring unparalleled exclusivity and innovation in the industry.
Twiist position sensors
The LS-A, LM-L and LM-C sensors offer exceptional versatility thanks to their analogue and digital outputs, which include FULL-Redundant, IO-Link and CANopen. This adaptability makes them ideal to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0 and for use on mobile vehicles.
The high-performance digital transmission of process variables, such as position, angular velocity and acceleration, ensures accurate data acquisition and rapid response to changes in position. This makes the TWIIST series transducers particularly effective in contexts that require precision and responsiveness, providing reliable and timely results. The sensors are available with strokes (FS) ranging from 50 to 900 mm, offer a typical linearity of 0.15% FS and a position repeatability of 0.05% FS.
These sensors are designed to withstand extreme temperature conditions, operating effectively in a range of -40 to +85°C. This ensures their integrity and functionality even in extreme conditions, while maintaining reliable and consistent performance. In addition, they offer numerous mechanical connection options, including self-aligning joints for maximum ease of installation, facilitating integration into different applications.
