A magnetostrictive position or elongation sensor of the type in which an elongated magnetorestrictive waveguide is influenced by a magnetic field from a moving magnet has a Villary type transformer at one end and a hermetically sealed housing containing the signal processing circuitry on a plurality of circuit boards. The signal processor can switch the sensor into a programmable mode in which a diagnostic output is obtained recognizing the magnet, the presence of the sensor in the programming mode and voltage values.

Magnetostrictive elongation sensor

An element for use with technical magnets having a mount, the mount to be located in a borehole having a base or counterbore. The element is disposed to lock the magnet mount in place in the borehole so it maintains an axial position oriented in the borehole as well as a radial bias position in the borehole. In this way the magnet surface will not intrude into the bore cylinder.
