Balluff offers BTL Entry rod-style magnetostrictive position sensors for standard hydraulic applications requiring basic linear position feedback. The sensors provide a cost-efficient option for industrial systems where straightforward integration and reliable measurement are priorities.

The BTL Entry line uses non-contact magnetostrictive technology to support dependable position measurement and long service life with reduced wear. Balluff says the line is priced 40% lower than its BTL C1 rod-style sensor in the Standard Line.

The sensors feature analog current outputs of 4–20 milliamps or 20–4 milliamps and voltage outputs of 0–10 volts or 10–0 volts. These options support integration with many existing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) used in hydraulic applications.

Available configurations include M18 × 1.5 and ¾-inch thread sizes and an M12 connector. The BTL Entry line addresses standard measurement requirements, while Balluff’s Standard and Special Duty product lines serve higher-performance applications.
