Magnetizable material
If using magnetizable material, the BTL must be protected
against magnetic interference through suitable measures
(e.g. spacer ring made of non-magnetizable material, a
suitable distance from strong external magnetic fields).

Preparing for installation
Installation note: We recommend using non-
magnetizable material to mount the BTL and magnet.
Horizontal assembly: For horizontal assembly with
nominal lengths > 500 mm, support the rod and tighten it
at the end if necessary (only possible with a diameter of
10.2 mm.
Hydraulic cylinder: If installed in a hydraulic cylinder,
ensure that the minimum value for the bore diameter of the
support piston is complied with (see Tab. 4-1).
Fitting bore: The BTL can be fastened in a fitting bore
(Ø 48 H8), but must be sealed with the provided O-ring
and support ring.
The body of the BTL is fastened using 3 M5 threaded pins
at a 120° angle.
Magnet: Various magnets are available for the BTL (see
Accessories on page 11).
Note on EMC characteristics
(only BTL6-A/E500/B50_-...-LA_ _)
EMC characteristics can only be ensured if the
BTL6-A/E500/B50_...-LA_ _ is completely
installed in a grounded metal housing.
