Description
Product Overview
GE ML351704450 029.380896/10 is a high-accuracy magnetostrictive linear position sensor engineered for critical industrial automation applications requiring micron-level precision. Originally developed by Bosch Rexroth and integrated into GE’s motion control ecosystem, this sensor provides absolute position feedback for hydraulic cylinders, presses, and precision machinery. The GE ML351704450 029.380896/10 utilizes contactless magnetostrictive technology to deliver wear-free operation with ±5µm repeatability across its 450mm stroke length. Its robust stainless-steel housing (IP67/IP69K) withstands extreme pressures, temperatures, and contaminants—making it ideal for steel mills, injection molding, and heavy mobile equipment. The sensor interfaces seamlessly with GE PLCs and drives via analog, SSI, or CANopen outputs.
