How much is a magnetostrictive displacement sensor? Prices usually range from $150 to $2,000, but custom or high-end models can cost over $3,000. The quote depends on range, accuracy, output, materials, protection, temperature, pressure, brand, and quantity.

A compact 0-100 mm sensor with 0.05% FS and 4-20 mA output often costs $150-$400. A 0-500 mm model with 0.02% FS, Modbus, or analog output may cost $300-$800. For 0-1000 mm strokes, rugged stainless steel rods, IP67/IP68 sealing, and high shock resistance, prices reach $700-$1,500. Explosion-proof or high-temperature versions can cost $1,500-$3,000 or more.

Output signal affects cost. Analog 4-20 mA, 0-10 V, RS485, Modbus RTU, CANopen, Profibus, and EtherCAT need different electronics. Digital outputs cost more but integrate better. Accuracy matters: 0.05% FS is common; 0.01% FS or repeatability under 1 micron raises the price.

Mechanical factors include stroke length, rod diameter, thread size, mounting style, and cable length. Longer strokes need stronger waveguides and rods. Stainless steel 304 or 316, titanium, and coatings add cost. IP65 is common; IP67/IP68 suits wet, dusty, or outdoor use. High-temperature models above 100 C and pressure-resistant versions for hydraulic cylinders cost more.

Brand, warranty, calibration, stock, and lead time also affect price. Generic sensors may cost $80-$250; known brands charge more. Buying 10+ units can cut unit cost by 10-30%. Custom cables or threads add fees. Get a quote now.
