Introduction

The LIPS P101 is an accurate and robust inductive linear displacement transducer that meets the needs of most scientific and industrial applications. The measurement ranges are specifiable to the centimetre over a range of 0-5mm to 0-800mm. The sensor is powered by DC voltage, and incorporates conditioning electronics for a voltage or 4-20mA output signal compatible with any analogue acquisition system.

The non-contact, inductive technology offers excellent durability (MTBF > 350,000 hours). Another advantage is the infinite resolution and excellent frequency response (> 10 kHz) for high dynamic control or vibration studies.

The analogue output signal is linear with the absolute position (non-linearity: < ± 0.25mm for 100mm of displacement, optionally reduced to ± 0.1mm)

Installation

The sensor body is made of stainless steel. The fixed part (body) of the sensor P101 is fixed with an M5 ball joint or a flange. The movable part, corresponding to the displacement measurement, can be connected either by a ball joint or by an M5 rod. A probe option is available up to 300 mm in length. Clamps are also available.

The electrical connection is either a connector (IP65) or a cable (IP67), in axial or radial position. Two potentiometers allow fine adjustment of zero and gain. Several types of output signals are available :

ATEX version / Intrinsic safety

The LIPS X101 is the ATEX version of the P101. The LIPS X101 is certified Intrinsically Safe Ex II 1G and Ex ia IIC T4 Ga (Ta= -40°F to 176°F) . The measurement performance and size are identical. The X101 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 See LIPS X101 data sheet.
