H. G. Schaevitz LLC, Alliance Sensors Group has expanded its sensor product offering using LVIT Technology by adding the LZ-33 Series linear position sensors.
These are contactless devices designed for use in factory automation or assembly machinery applications where space is a premium, as well as for external mounting on hydraulic cylinders to sense rod position. These LVITs are offered in nominal full scale ranges from 6 to 36 inches (150 to 900 mm) with an excellent stroke-to-length ratio so that the sensor’s overall length is only about 1.5 inches (38 mm) longer than the linear range of the unit.
The sensor has a 1.315 inch (33.4 mm) outside diameter aluminum or optional stainless steel body with a 1 m long radial exit cable for I/O connections. The 0.670 inch (17 mm) diameter through-bore of an LZ-33 provides clearance for its 0.645 inch (16.4 mm) diameter moving rod, which is made of the same material as its housing. This through-bore feature means the sensor is not subject to damage from typical mechanical over stroking.
Features:

  • LVIT Technology™ (Linear Variable Inductance Transducer)
  • Contactless operation prevents internal wearout from dithering or rapid cycling
  • Excellent stroke-to-length ratio
  • Full Scale ranges from 6 to 36 inches  (150 to 900 mm)
  • Through-bore design eliminates mechanical overstroking damage
  • DC in / DC out operation with built-in electronics
  • Proprietary SenSet™ field adjustable range scaling
