Magnetic Tape Tracking Sensors

MagneTech’s MTTA Series Magnetic Tape Tracking Sensors are designed for precise lateral tracking of magnetized tape, offering robust performance for AGVs, robotics, and automated guidance systems. All four models provide a 0–10V analog output that shifts based on the sensor’s position relative to the tape, along with a PNP digital “Tape Detect” signal to confirm tape presence. Key features include wide sensing gap ranges, detection of low magnetic fields, sealed and potted housings for durability, and support for regulated inputs. Options vary by housing and connectivity: compact plastic flange-mount enclosures (M3X2-MTTA-LCCB2 and LCCB5F), a bottom-sensing model with 5-ft shielded cable (M3X2BB-MTTA-RCSA5), and a rugged black aluminum version with load dump protection (ABM3B-MTTA-LCCB2). These versatile sensors integrate easily into industrial environments requiring reliable magnetic path tracking.

Our Standard Sensors

M3X2 housing option

Housed in a 3x2x1" plastic flange-mount enclosure, it is pot-sealed for durability and offers wide gap sensing. The M3X2-LCCB2 is ideal for regulated input applications and integrates via a panel-mount 4-pin male M12 connector.

M3X2-MTTA-LCCB2

MTTA with M3X2 housing

This sensor is similar to the LCCB2 variant but features a 5-pin female M12 connector for more complex integrations. It comes standard is housed in the same compact, sealed plastic 3x2x1" enclosure.

M3X2-MTTA-LCCB5F

AMB3B housing option

The ABM3B-MTTA-LCCB2 is a rugged, high-precision magnetic tape tracking sensor built with a black aluminum flange-mount housing. Features an integral 4-pin male M12 connector

ABM3B-MTTA-LCCB2

Free end wire option

The M3X2BB-RCSA5 model is designed for bottom-sensing applications and features a 5-foot shielded cable instead of a connector, enabling flexible wiring.
