Positek<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s non-contacting linear, rotary, and tilt displacement sensor technology is well proven for its durability, long life, and exceptionally reliable operation in industrial, marine, and scientific applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK sensor designer and manufacturer has now further expanded its tilt sensor range with the new S613 series that integrates the high-resolution inductive sensing technology in a fully sealed IP68-rated 10-Bar submersible housing design with a large tilt angle measurement capability. With factory setting of the customer\u2019s tilt travel requirement between \u00b17.5\u00b0 to \u00b180\u00b0, the S613\u2019s calibrated angle output, which may be specified in a wide choice of voltage or current output options, has an independent linearity\/hysteresis specification of less than \u00b10.25\u00b0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particularly suited to severe industrial and marine-based applications such as crane and hoist, construction machinery or drilling platforms, although competitively priced for use on less arduous measurement tasks, the S613\u2019s 10g shock and 40 g vibration rating (IEC 68-2) contributes to exceptional reliability over an operating temperature range of -20\u00b0C to +85\u00b0C. Positek\u2019s ASIC control technology interprets the absolute position of embedded inductive coils to provide a proportional, high-bandwidth DC analogue output signal with essentially infinite resolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In comparison to alternative LVDT\/RVDT and magneto-strictive sensors, no further signal condition is required, and furthermore, the space-efficient Positek sensor has a much smaller coil design, a superior stroke-to-length ratio and does not require the use of expensive magnetic materials. In this way, Positek sensors cost-effectively offers the simplicity of potentiometer-based sensors while its non-contacting LVDT principle, developed and patented by Positek, provides exceptionally long life (MTBF – 350,000 hrs at 40\u00b0C Gf).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The compact S613 features a robust and fully sealed 35 mm diameter by 44 mm long stainlesssteel housing. An integral 60 mm diameter mounting flange with two wide mounting slots and a choice of input shafts facilitates straightforward mounting. A wide choice of output options include 0.5\u20134.5V ratiometric from a 5V supply, several buffered DC voltage outputs and 2-or 3-wire, 4\u201320mA current outputs from a nominal 24VDC input. Electrical connection is via a Pg7 gland and cable arrangement with customer specified length up to 50cm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
