The P501 RIPS® (Rotary Inductive Position Sensor) is an affordable,
durable, high-accuracy rotary sensor designed for industrial and scientific
feedback applications, but requires a smaller footprint than the P500.
Like all Positek sensors, the P501 provides a linear output proportional
with angle of deflection. Each unit is supplied with the output calibrated
to the angle required by the customer, between 30 and 140 degrees.
It is particularly suitable for OEMs seeking good sensor performance
for arduous applications where space is important.
Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over
a wide temperature range. The sensor has a rugged nickel plated aluminium
body and integrated mounting flange. The flange has two 4.3mm by 20
degree wide slots on a 48mm pitch to simplify mounting and position
adjustment. Sealing is to IP67 (boot version) and full EMC protection
is built in.
