The X111 LIPS® (Linear Inductive Position
Sensor) is ATEX approved for use in potentially explosive gas/vapour
atmospheres. This heavy-duty version of the X101 sensor with a stronger
12.7mm push rod, recommended for applications where vibration is an
issue or there is a need for longer travel sensors, mounted horizontally,
and supported between rod eyes. It remains an affordable, durable,
high-accuracy position sensor designed for industrial and scientific
feedback applications. The unit is highly compact and space-efficient,
being responsive along almost its entire length. Like all Positek
sensors, the X111 provides a linear output proportional to displacement.
Each sensor is supplied with the output calibrated to the travel required
by the customer, from 50 to 600mm and with full EMC protection built
in.
The sensor is very robust, the body and push rod being made of stainless
steel for long service life and environmental resistance. Overall
performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over a wide
temperature range. The sensor is easy to install with mounting options
including M8 rod eye bearings and body clamps. The push rod can be
supplied free or captive, with female M8 thread, an M8 rod eye, or
dome end, Captive push rods can be sprung loaded, in either direction,
on sensors up to 250mm of travel. Environmental sealing is to IP65 or IP67,
depending on selected cable or connector options.
Positek intrinsically safe sensors are designed to be used with a galvanically isolated barrier. Approved barriers are available from Positek; there is a choice of 0.5-9.5V or 4-20mA transmission outputs.
Sensor can be installed with a cable length up to 150m from the barrier.
