Construction and function (continued)
3.2 Function
The BTL contains the waveguide which is protected by an
aluminum housing. A magnet is moved along the waveguide.
This magnet is connected to the system part whose position
is to be determined. The magnet defines the position to be
measured on the waveguide.
An externally generated INIT pulse interacts with the
magnetic field of the magnet to generate a torsional wave
in the waveguide which propagates at ultrasonic velocity.
The component of the torsional wave which arrives at the
end of the waveguide is absorbed in the damping zone to
prevent reflection. The component of the torsional wave
which arrives at the beginning of the waveguide is
converted by a coil into an electrical signal. The travel time
of the wave is used to calculate the position. The position
value corresponds to the travel time of the torsional wave
and is output as digital time information between the start
and stop pulses.
The evaluation may relate to the rising or falling edge. This is
done with a high level of precision and reproducibility within
the measuring range indicated as the nominal length.
