Positek's Rotary Inductive Position Sensor is a high accuracy rotary
displacement sensor which provides outstanding performance and
durability. Unlike a potentiometer, a Positek RIPS®
rotary sensor
uses non-contacting inductive technology and produces a DC voltage
or current output from a DC supply. Each sensor is calibrated to the
exact angle required to suit the application.
Positek's RIPS® rotary displacement
sensor range includes:
RIPS®500 rotary displacement sensor is
available in angular range of between 20º and 160º rotation.
A linear output characteristic with rotation and with non-linearity
of less than ±0.25º for 100º rotation, is achieved
by this robust industrial rotary sensor. The analogue output signal
represents absolute power and is available on power up. The P500
is a more durable alternative to RVDTs and potentiometers, especially
for demanding and high vibration applications.
Performance and stability of the P500 is excellent
over the temperature range -40º to 85ºC. The P500
also offers excellent frequency response up to 10KHz. The P500
is available with a wide range of interface options, including loop
powered 4-20mA interface for remote sensing. The Intrinsically Safe
industrial rotary sensors are available in 0.5 to 9.5V dc and 4 to
20mA (2 wire) from a galvanic barrier which can be supplied with the
sensor.
The P501 minature rotary sensor is a non contact
rotary sensor which provides outstanding performance and durability
for harsh environments. It is a very compact and durable sensor, ideally
suited to applications which are beyond the capabilities of potentiometers.
This miniature sensor can achieve angular displacement ranges of up
to 140 degrees without gearing. The P501 is suitable for many rotary
displacement applications in the industrial market but is particularly
suitable for automotive testing and motor racing applications.
The P502 rotary sensor is an accurate non-contacting
inductive sensor for measuring small angles ( angular range of between
5º and 20º rotation). It has all the features of a P500
with high resolution for small angles.
The P503 assembly is particularly suitable
for applications needing very long life in harsh environments but
where low cost is important. This rotary sensor is supplied on a very
compact flat, surface mount, pcb assembly. The P503 assembly is perfect
for integrating into the customer's product in instances where a separate
sensor is not feasible.
