P106 Internally Mounted Cylinder Sensor

P106 Internally Mounted Cylinder Sensor

The P106 Inductive Linear Position Sensor is an in cylinder with external electronics. It is a highly accurate, durable and affordable position sensor designed for demanding hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder position feedback applications where environmental resistance, cost and service life are particuarly important. It is particuarly suited to OEM customers who require good sensor performance where the internal length or diameter is limited.

The repeatability, stability and overall performance are outstanding over a large temperature range. The P106 LIPS is very compact and space efficient, being responsive along almost its entite length.

Like all Positek sensors the P106 provides a linear output that is proportional to the displacement. Each unit is supplied calibrated to the exact travel required by the customer, the P106 is available with any travel 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.

Manufactured from stainless steel with an inert flouropolymer sheathed probe the P106 is rugged, ideal for cylinder based applications. The probe and target are easy to install, as is the external electronics module which has a range of mounting and electrical options. Sealing to IP65 or IP67 dependant on cable or connector options and with integrated full EMC protection.

The Full Positek Range Also Offer a range of Intrinsically Safe and ANZEx approved to Ex ia I/IIC T4

Intrinsically Safe systems provide a safe operating environment for personnel and equipment. Intrinsic Safety (IS) is based on the principle of restricting the  electrical energy transmitted into a hazardous area, thereby ensuring that any sparks or heated surfaces that may occur as a result of electrical failures are insufficient to cause ignition. The threat of an explosion is eliminated.

Positek’s ATEX and IECEx approved Intrinsically Safe sensors can be used in hazardous environments when connected to our approved galvanically isolated amplifier. Positek offers Intrinsically Safe sensors for the following three hazard classifications:

• ‘A’ Series ANZEx Approved Intrinsically Safe Sensors for Gas/Vapour, Dust and Mining.
• ‘X’ Series Sensors Position Sensors for use in potentially explosive gas/vapour atmospheres.
• ‘E’ Series Sensors Position Sensors for use in potentially explosive gas/vapour and dust atmospheres.
• ‘M’ Series Sensors Position Sensors for use in potentially explosive gas/vapour, dust and mining environments.

Positek sensors are now available in the EX07 versions which are ATEX and IECEx

Qualified to Intrinsic Safety Specification

• II 1 GD
  I M1
  Ex ia IIC T4 Ga
  Ex ia IIIC T135°C Da

The sensors must be used with a galvanically isolated three port amplifier
designed to supply the sensor with a nominal 5V and to transmit the buffered
output to a safe area.

The Positek X005 Galvanic Isolation Amplifier designed specifically for use with Positek Intrinsically safe sensor range is available in the following output options:
