Turck Analog sensors

I’ve been looking at the new Turck Analog position sensors. Has anyone used these? I think being non magnetic could be a plus for some applications.

The spec sheet shows an output update rate of 2ms. I don’t know if this means 2ms for 0-10V output or if its 2ms for 90% of value.

I am not familiar with them. The 12-bit resolution is only 24um (0.001 in.) for the 100 mm stroke, which may be all right, but it’s 244 um ( 0.01 in.) for the 1000 mm stroke, which isn’t very fine. Of course, if the application does not demand high resolution they may work. I, too, am curious about the update rate.
