The P603 TIPS® (Tilt Inductive Position Sensor) is an affordable,
durable, high-accuracy tilt sensor designed for industrial and scientific
feedback applications. The P603, like all Positek sensors, is supplied
with the output calibrated to the angle required by the customer,
between 20 and 160 degrees. The sensor provides a linear output characteristic
with angle of deflection. 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. Electrical connections to the sensor are
made via an industrial standard 4-pin M12 connector, with limited
rotational capability to facilitate cable routing.
The sensor has a rugged stainless steel body and anodised aluminium
mounting flange. The flange has two 4.5mm by 30 degree wide slots
on a 48mm pitch to simplify mounting and position adjustment. The
P603 offers a range of electrical options. Sealing is to IP67 and
full EMC protection is built in.
