P502 Small Angle Rotary Sensor

The P502 RIPS® (Rotary Inductive Position Sensor) is an affordable, durable, high-accuracy rotary sensor designed for industrial and scientific feedback applications, like the P500, but with smaller angles of deflection for better resolution. The P502, like all Positek sensors, provides a linear output proportional with angle of rotation. Each unit is supplied with the output calibrated to the angle required by the customer, between 5 and 15 degrees. There is a machined registration mark to identify the calibrated mid point.

It is particularly suitable for OEMs seeking good sensor performance for arduous applications such as industrial machinery where cost is important.
Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over a wide temperature range. The P502 has a rugged stainless steel body and shaft for long service life and environmental resistance. The mounting flange is anodised aluminium. The sensor is easy to install with flange or servo mounting options, it also offers a wide range of electrical options. Sealing is IP65 or IP67 depending on selected cable or connector options, and full EMC protection built in.

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.
