Preparing for installation
Installation
Two mounting options are provided:
–
Mounting in a hole with internal thread (mounting hole).
–
Mounting in a through-hole (without internal thread)
using a mounting nut (see Accessories on page 21).
Installation guidelines
a) Installation in non-magnetizable material
We recommend using non-magnetizable material to mount
the BTL and magnet.

Installation in non-magnetizable material
b) Installation in magnetizable material
If using magnetizable material, the BTL must be protected
against magnetic interference through suitable measures
(e.g. spacer ring made of non-magnetizable material, a
suitable distance from strong external magnetic fields).

Installation instructions
Hydraulic cylinder: If installed in a hydraulic cylinder, the
magnet should not make contact with the rod. Minimum
bore diameter in the support piston:
Rod diameter
10.2 mm
Tab. 5-1:
Bore diameter if installed in a hydraulic cylinder
Mounting hole: Depending on the version, the BTL
comes with an M18×1.5 thread (according to ISO) or a
3/4"-16UNF thread (according to SAE) to secure it.
Accordingly, the mounting must be made before assembly.

Mounting hole 3/4"-16UNF per SAE J475 O-ring 15.3×2.4
Horizontal mounting: For horizontal mounting with
measuring lengths > 500 mm, support the rod and, if
necessary, screw it on at the end (with threaded rod end).
Magnet: Various magnets are available for the BTL (see
Accessories on page 21).
Bore diameter D2
At least 13 mm
