Overview
The Balluff BTL7 is the current-generation magnetostrictive linear position sensor for hydraulic cylinders, presses, injection-moulding and die-casting machines. The BTL7-E100-M0500-B-S32 is a rod-style transducer with 500 mm measuring length, analog 0–10 V output (E100), a pressure-rated 316L rod for 350 bar inside the cylinder and an M18 × 1.5 flange (B) with S32 M16 connector; a ring or block magnet rides on the piston without contact. Resolution is 5 µm with non-linearity ≤ ±50 µm, and the output can be re-scaled or inverted with the programming tool. Interfaces across the family include 4–20 mA, ±10 V, SSI, IO-Link, PROFINET and EtherCAT, and the BTL7 is backward compatible with BTL5 mounting dimensions for replacement.
Key features
- Measuring length 500 mm (25–7,620 mm available), resolution 5 µm, non-linearity ≤ ±50 µm
- Rod version for installation in hydraulic cylinders, 350 bar (600 bar peak), 316L rod
- Analog 0–10 V output (E100); 4–20 mA, ±10 V, SSI, IO-Link, PROFINET, EtherCAT variants
- M18 × 1.5 flange, S32 M16 connector; compatible with BTL5 mounting
- Non-contact magnet, wear-free; programmable start/end points; IP67
Typical applications
- Position feedback in hydraulic presses and bending machines
- Injection-moulding and die-casting machine axes
- Steel-mill and paper-machine hydraulic cylinders
- BTL5 replacements

Frequently asked questions
Can the BTL7 replace a BTL5 in my press?
Yes. The BTL7 rod version keeps the BTL5 flange, rod diameter and connector pin-out, so it fits the same cylinder and cable. We confirm the interface code and stroke before quoting.
Is the magnet included?
No. Ring magnets (e.g. BTL-P-1013-4R) or block magnets are ordered separately depending on the piston design; we add the correct magnet to the quotation.
Is the BTL7 available from stock, and what is the lead time?
Transducers are built to the ordered length; typical lead time is 2–3 weeks. We confirm with the quotation.
