AMS-3946
Advanced Magnetic Sensing (AMS) high-precision non-contact proximity measuring system
- Advanced Magnetic Sensing (AMS, AMS-HP, AMS-XHP) precision non-contact measuring systems
- Detects target position through non-magnetic, conductive, and non-conductive barriers
- No magnet required — works with any ferromagnetic target
- Engineered for high-pressure environments from 500 psi to 40,000 psi
- RMS resolution down to 1 micron
- Standard measuring range up to 7 mm
- IP-67 rated with hermetic options available
- Threaded, flanged, AS4320 pressure-port compatible, and bolt-head configurations
- Multiple outputs: 0-10 VDC, 0-5 VDC, and 4-20 mA
- Semi-custom and custom OEM integration

Frequently Asked Questions
How does AMS sensing differ from standard eddy current sensing?
Advanced Magnetic Sensing detects ferromagnetic targets through non-magnetic, conductive, and non-conductive barriers without a magnet — enabling leak-proof, penetrator-free installations in high-pressure environments.
What pressures can the AMS-3946 handle?
The AMS family operates from 500 psi to 40,000 psi depending on configuration (AMS, AMS-HP, AMS-XHP), and the sensors are IP-67 rated with hermetic options.
What are typical AMS-3946 applications?
Condition monitoring, crack and defect detection, shaft alignment and runout, gear-tooth condition monitoring, non-contact speed sensing, and surface-finish thickness inspection.
