​Engineered for Extremes: The Rugged Reliability of Magnetostrictive Displacement Transducers in Harsh Environments

Jul 17 Source: Intelligent Browse: 2

In modern industrial environments—where dust, moisture, oil, and corrosive chemicals are the norm—sensor reliability is critical. The magnetostrictive displacement transducer from Shenzhen Soway Technology Development Co., Ltd. stands out as a highly durable, non-contact measurement solution purpose-built for these challenging conditions.

What makes these transducers unique is their ability to deliver precise linear position measurements with zero mechanical wear. Unlike contact-based sensors that degrade over time, magnetostrictive sensors operate using waveguide-based magnetic induction. This design provides exceptional resistance to mechanical fatigue, making them ideal for continuous operation in 24/7 industrial processes.


Built to Withstand Harsh Industrial Settings

Soway's magnetostrictive sensors feature IP-rated enclosures and corrosion-resistant stainless steel housings. This allows them to perform reliably in:

Dust-laden environments like cement plants or grain processing lines

High-humidity zones such as water treatment facilities

Chemically aggressive areas including petrochemical plants or battery manufacturing lines

Additionally, these sensors offer excellent resistance to EMI (electromagnetic interference), ensuring signal integrity near high-power motors, variable frequency drives, or arc welders.


Applications That Demand Durability

Soway’s magnetostrictive displacement transducers are commonly used in:

Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders for closed-loop control

Steel processing and metalworking for precise tool positioning

Oil and gas for valve stroke measurement and tank level monitoring

Food and pharmaceutical industries, where cleanliness and resistance to steam/chemicals are essential


Soway offers multiple models—including SDM20T, SDM21T, SDM22T, SDM23T, SDM40S—each tailored to specific industrial demands while maintaining their signature environmental resilience.
