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 20 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.
