Compact Position Sensors feature pressure equalization.
Press Release Summary:
Offered in 18 mm dia housing with stroke lengths up to 300 mm, TEX series uses differential pressure compensation technology to equalize pressure that builds up from rod movement on linear sensors. IP66-rated series withstands adverse environmental conditions such as humidity, oil, and dust while exhibiting ±0.05% linearity and better than 0.01 mm resolution. Pivot heads eliminate side-load errors, and series has operating life rated for up to 20 million movements.
Original Press Release:
New Compact Position Sensors are Pressure Equalized
Southborough, MA...Novotechnik is introducing the TEX series of position sensors with stroke lengths up to 300 mm. The new sensor combines compact housing size of 18 mm diameter with pressure equalization.
The TEX series is rated to protection class IP66, and contains Novotechnik's patented differential pressure compensation technology. This advanced system equalizes pressure, which builds up from rod movement on linear sensors, without allowing contaminants.
The TEX series has outstanding linearity ±0.05% with resolution better than 0.01 mm and is equipped with pivot heads to provide a large angle of free movement to eliminate side-load errors.
TEX series is complete with stroke lengths and electrical range up to 300 mm and an operating life of up to 20 million movements. The TEX series is also designed to withstand adverse environment conditions such as humidity, oil, and dust.
The TEX series offers multiple mounting options, fixing clamps for center bushing or bolt-through flange plates.
