Munich, Germany - Offering a favorable ratio of a short sensor body length to sensor range, the LP750 Series Linear Position Sensors are suited for long stroke applications where sensor length needs to be essentially the same length as the stroke of the device. For example, the position sensors can be implemented for "in cylinder" use within hydraulic rams of construction equipment that require sensors with a significant stroke to length advantage (0.75% to 0.9%) and robustness in environmental extremes.
Position sensors replacing potentiometers
Because the linear position sensors are constructed entirely of stainless steel and hermetically sealed against hostile environments to IEC standard IP-68, units can operate in harsh and corrosive environments with high reliability. And with no parts to wear out, these frictionless position sensors offer infinite cycle life for greater performance and reliability than pots.
Available in standard ranges of 4" (100 mm) to 25" (600 mm), LP750 Series linear position sensors are offered with a pre-calibrated loop-powered 4-20 input/output (Model LPIR) or a nominal 24VDC input 0 to 10VDC output (Model LPER). In addition to high resolution, excellent repeatability and low hysteresis, the position sensors have a maximum linearity error of +/-0.25% of full-scale output.
