P117 Slim-line Linear Position Sensor

P117 Slim-line Linear Position Sensor

The P117 LIPS® (Linear Inductive Position Sensor)is an affordable, durable, high-accuracy position sensor designed for industrial and scientific feedback applications. The Repeatability, overall performance and stability are excellent over a large temperature range.The sensor is very space efficent and compact with its 19mm body diameter. The P117 is housed within a stainless steel body tube and has a 3/8″ stainless steel push rod.

Various mounting options are available including M5 male stud and M5 rod eye bearing. The push rod can be supplied free or captive with M5 male thread or M5 rod eye. Like all Positek products the P117 provides a linear output proportional to the displacement. Each unit is supplied calibrated to the customers exact requirement. For example, if your application requires 3/4″ (19 mm) measurement then Positek will manufacture the sensor specifically for this length. The mechanical length and calibration will be set up for 19 mm.
The P117 is sealed to IP67 . The sensor has fully integrated 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

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.
