Woodstock, GA. The new Inelta ILAT Series Miniature LVDT Sensors provide precision measurements of position and path in the single-digit-millimeter range. The sensors include Models ILAT2, ILAT4, and ILAT10 for the exact measurements of ±1-mm, ±2-mm, or ±5-mm traveling distances. Owing to their dimensions with a housing length of 79 mm and a diameter of only 8 mm at a weight of 30 g (including cable), the sensors can navigate within tight-fitting conditions.
Because of the inductive LVDT principle (linear variable differential transformer), in which a coil within the sensor with a primary winding and two secondary windings transforms the linear motions of the measuring sensor contact-free into a single electronic signal, the ILAT sensors operate free from wear and provide a linearity tolerance of <0.25% or optionally <0.1%.
Even with their tiny dimensions, the ILAT Sensors are distinguished by their robust design with a stainless-steel housing in protection class IP65 (optionally in IP67). Nominal temperature rating is 0° to 70°C. The linear guiding operates by virtue of a locking mechanism of the probe and can provide more than 10 million cycles. These versatile sensors are suitable for many applications, including medical technology, engineering, agriculture, and navigation, and they can be used in testing facilities or the manufacture of special-purpose machinery.
Fitting the ILAT path sensors are Inelta external sensor amplifiers, available for signals in the ranges of 0 to 5 V, 0 to 10 V, ±5 V, ±10 V, and 0 or 4 to 20 mA.
Additionally, Inelta can provide custom sensor designs with further optional features such as custom-made calibration, cable lengths, and expanded temperature ranges. Available through Hoffmann + Krippner Inc., http://www.hoffmann-krippner.com/sensors-displacement.html
