H. G. Schaevitz LLC, Alliance Sensors Group has expanded its sensor product offering using LVIT Technology by adding the LZ-19 Series linear position sensors. These are contactless devices designed for use in factory automation or assembly equipment applications where space is a premium, as well as for external mounting on pneumatic cylinders to sense rod position. These LVITs are offered in nominal full scale ranges from 2.5 to 750 mm (0.1 to 30-in.) with favorable stroke-to-body-length ratios such that the overall length for most sensors is 25 mm (1-in.) or less, greater than the linear range of the unit. These sensors have a 19 mm (0.75-in.) diameter stainless steel or optional aluminum body with a 1-m long cable for I/O connections. The 6 mm (0.236-in.) diameter through-bore of an LZ-19 gives adequate clearance for its 5.2 mm (0.20-in.) diameter PVDF-sheathed moving rod made of the same material as its housing. The through-bore feature also means that these sensors are not subject to damage from typical mechanical overstroking.
Features:
• LVIT Technology (Linear Variable Inductance Transducer)
• Contactless operation prevents internal wearout from dithering or rapid cycling
• Very Good stroke-to-body-length ratios
• Full Scale ranges from 2.5 to 750 mm (0.1 to 30-in.)
• Through-bore design eliminates mechanical overstroking damage
• DC in / DC out operation with built-in electronics
• Proprietary SenSet field adjustable range scaling
