The P100 sensor is an affordable, durable, high accuracy linear
position sensors specifically designed for use in hydraulic and pneumatic
cylinders where long life and cost are important. The P100 linear
sensor is particuarly suitable for OEM customers who require good
performance in hard environments such as industrial machinery.
Performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over a large
temperature range.This compact and particuarly space efficient sensor
is responsive along almost its entire length.
As with all of Positek's sensors the cutomer can specify the exact
length that they require to measure and Positek will manufacture the
unit specifically for that length and supply the unit calibrated.
The P100 sensor is available with any length of electrical travel
ranging anywhere from 20mm to 600mm. For example, if your application
requires 10" (254 mm) measurement then Positek will manufacture
the sensor specifically for this length. The mechanical length and
calibration will be set up for 254 mm. The P100 is housed inside a
stainless steel body and the probe coil is encased within a flouropolymer
sheath, both of which offer good protection for this rugged sensor.
The sensor is easily installed in the cylinder using one of the thread
options. The P100 is sealed to IP65 or IP67 depending on the selected
cable or connector options.
The sensor has integrated EMC protection to EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-3.
The P100 is well suilted for high pressure hydraulic environments
up to 350 bar and is rated over the temperature range -40°C to
125°C or -20° to +85° depending on the electronics option.
