The X113 LIPS® (Linear Inductive Position
Sensor) is ATEX approved for use in potentially explosive gas/vapour
atmospheres. It is designed for industrial and scientific feedback
applications and is ideal for OEMs seeking good sensor performance
for arduous applications in hazardous areas.
Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over
a wide temperature range. The unit is very compact and space-efficient
with a small 19mm diameter body. The sensor is very robust, the body
and push rod being made of stainless steel. The sensor is easy to
install with mounting options including M5 male stud and M5 rod eye
bearing. The push rod can be supplied free or captive, with male M5
thread or M5 rod eye. Like all Positek sensors, the X113 provides
a linear output proportional to displacement. Each unit is supplied
with the output calibrated to the travel required by the customer,
from 10 to 300mm and with full EMC protection built in. The X113 offers
a range of mechanical options, environmental sealing is to IP67.
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.
