Inductive displacement sensor - 0-5 to 0-350 mm - IP67 - ATEX option

Introduction

The LIPS P117 is an accurate and robust inductive linear displacement transducer for measuring linear displacements from 0 to 350mm. With an IP67 sealing, an operating temperature range of -40 to +125°C and an MTBF > 350,000 hours, the P117 is designed for use in harsh scientific and industrial environments.

Measurement ranges are specifiable to the centimetre over the 0-5mm to 0-350mm range. The resolution is infinite and the excellent frequency response > 10 kHz allows for vibration studies. The analogue output signal is linear with the absolute position (non-linearity: < ± 0.25mm for 100mm displacement, optionally reduced to ± 0.1mm)

Installation

The sensor body is only 19 mm in diameter and is made of stainless steel. The fixed part (body) of the sensor P117 is fixed with an M5 threaded rod or clamps. The movable part, corresponding to the displacement measurement, can be connected either by a ball joint or by an M5 threaded rod. The electrical connection is either a connector or a cable, in axial or radial position.

The sensor is powered by a DC voltage, and incorporates conditioning electronics for a voltage or current type output signal compatible with any analogue acquisition system.

2 potentiometers allow fine adjustment of zero and gain.

ATEX version / Intrinsic safety

The LIPS X117 is the ATEX version of the P117. The LIPS X117 is certified Intrinsically safe Ex II 1G and Ex ia IIC T4 Ga (Ta= -40°C to 80°C) . The measurement performance and size are identical. The X117 must be used with an ATEX galvanic barrier, like the X005. The output signal is analogue, type 0.5 - 9.5V or 4-20 mA
