H. G. Schaevitz’s Alliance Sensors Group has expanded its sensor product offering by adding resistive technology to its portfolio of linear position products. The LP-22 series of linear potentiometers offer a cost-effective solution to sensing requirements in the factory automation marketplace. LP-22 series potentiometers are expertly constructed to satisfy applications like robotic control, X-Y table feedback, injection moulding machine slides, press or die arm position, control valve shaft position and mil/aero test stands.
The ruggedly constructed 22mm OD anodised aluminium housing with a 1m 3-conductor cable sealed to IEC IP-64 keeps out dust. The LP-22 potentiometer can withstand high shocks of up to 50gs single hit and vibration of up to 20gs). The self-aligning swivel rod eye ends are standard to facilitate self-alignment during installation. Depending on range, LP-22 series potentiometers are powered with a maximum input of between 12V and 36V DC at 12mA or less, and their maximum output resistance varies between 1kilohms and 5kilohms. They have an operating temperature of -40°C to 150°C and a linearity better than 0.10%.
