Linear position sensor offers improved sealing, high reliability
Variohm EuroSensor has introduced a potentiometric linear position sensor featuring IP67 sealing, improved reliability and increased operational temperature capability.
Suited to challenging applications in industrial measurement, the VXP series includes a new dual-lip sealing arrangement and improved materials that enable a higher temperature capability of -40 to 150ºC.
The VXP device is available for stroke lengths from 25 to 290mm in nine standard models.
The sensor specification includes a typical independent linearity of +/-0.1%, a positioning repeatability to 0.01mm, shock rating of 50g for 10ms, and a maximum speed up to 10 metres per second. Working life is rated at 25million cycles.
