R-Series
Industrial Position Sensors, Superior Performance
The Temposonics R-Series has been succeeded by the R-Series V. Selected models remain available for existing installations where CANbus or PROFIBUS continuity is required. For new builds, Emolice recommends the R-Series V.
Key Features
Powerful position sensor with high accuracy and reliability
Rod version (RH) for cylinder integrated measurement
Profile version (RP) for external motion axis measurement
Detached electronics (RD4) for decoupled sensor electronics
Redundant with detached electronics (RT4) for safety-critical applications
Flexible sensor rod (RF) for stroke lengths up to 20 m
Protective housing (RS) with IP69K ingress protection
Outputs: Analog, SSI, CANbus, Profibus, EtherCAT®, EtherNet/IP™, PROFINET, POWERLINK
On-site programmable to adapt the sensor to the application
The R-Series has been succeeded by the R-Series V. For new projects, consider the R-Series V. See the upgrade panel below.
Legacy product. The Temposonics R-Series is being phased out in favour of the R-Series V. Emolice can supply both and cross-reference any existing part number for you.
Upgrade your R-Series to the R-Series V
The R-Series V is the form, fit and function backward-compatible successor to the R-Series. Mounting, stroke, magnet and SSI / Industrial Ethernet interfaces map directly across, so most installations are a true drop-in upgrade.

What you gain by moving to the R-Series V
- Drop-in mechanical and electrical replacement (same mounting, magnet, connector)
- Smart diagnostics and condition monitoring on every interface
- SSI, EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, POWERLINK, IO-Link and analog
- Improved EMC performance and extended temperature range
- Long-term availability, the R-Series is being phased out
Temposonics R-Series in Ireland
The Temposonics R-Series has been succeeded by the R-Series V. Selected models remain available for existing installations where CANbus or PROFIBUS output continuity is required. Available as rod (RH) and profile (RP) variants. Measuring range 25mm to 20,000mm on the RF flexible variant; 25mm to 7,620mm on rod and profile.
The R-Series remains available for applications where CANbus or PROFIBUS output is a control system requirement. These outputs are not available on the R-Series V.
Emolice is the only authorised Temposonics distributor in Ireland.
Specifications
| Output | Stroke Length | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| CANbus | 25–20000 mm | < 1 µm |
| PROFIBUS | 25–7620 mm | 1 µm |
Applications
Existing installations where CANbus output is a control system requirement
Existing installations where PROFIBUS DP output is a control system requirement
Hydraulic cylinder position feedback for presses and forming equipment
Injection moulding machines requiring stroke measurement
Replacement of installed R-Series sensors where the part number must be matched
Selection Guidance
The R-Series remains available for applications requiring CANbus or PROFIBUS output, neither of which is available on the R-Series V. For new projects using industrial Ethernet, Emolice recommends the R-Series V.
R-Series sensors use the RH prefix for rod versions. Use the Emolice part number decoder to identify the full specification, or contact Emolice for cross-referencing to the R-Series V. Use the Part Number Decoder →

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Temposonics R-Series still available?
Selected models remain available for existing installations. For new projects, Emolice recommends the R-Series V.
What outputs does the R-Series still cover?
CANbus with stroke lengths from 25 mm to 20,000 mm, and PROFIBUS DP with stroke lengths from 25 mm to 7,620 mm.
Can I upgrade from R-Series to R-Series V?
In many cases, yes. Emolice can provide a cross-reference for a specific R-Series part number and advise on compatibility.
Does the R-Series support Profibus?
Yes, the R-Series supports PROFIBUS DP. This interface is not available on the R-Series V.
