Submersible linear displacement sensor 100m - 0 to 800mm

Introduction

The S114 inductive linear displacement transducer is the IP68 waterproof, 10 bar submersible version of the P101. It can measure displacements up to 800mm and up to 100m deep, with an accuracy better than 0.5%, a bandwidth of 10kHz and a virtually infinite resolution. The measurement range is customisable from 0-5mm to 0-800mm in 1mm increments. The output signal is perfectly linear with displacement.

The transducer features excellent robustness and stability, achieved by the hardened 316 stainless steel construction and the inductive measurement principle, which generates no contact between the fixed part (the body) and the moving element. This design allows for extremely stable and repeatable measurement even in harsh industrial environments such as temperature (range: -40 to + 257°F), vibration, EMC, corrosive, dusty or humid environments.

Installation

The fixed part (body) of the sensor S114, with a diameter of 35mm, is fixed by means of an M5 ball joint or clamps. The movable part, corresponding to the displacement measurement, can be connected either by a ball joint or by an M8 threaded rod. A probe version is available up to 300mm stroke. The electrical connection is an IP68 waterproof cable, in axial or radial position.

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

2 potentiometers allow fine adjustment of zero and gain.
