Novotechnik U.S. introduces the TF1 Series of touchless position sensors that are based on patented new-inductive technology.
- Unaffected by strong magnetic fields and metal flakes or filings present in user’s environment
- Consists of inductively coupled position marker attached to moving rod/piece of user’s application that requires position measurement and the sensor with operational and programming status LEDs
- LEDs indicate whether sensor is operating and marker is within measuring range, out of range as well as indicating results of internal diagnostics for valid output
- Physical properties measured are position, and for some digital interfaces speed and temperature
- Stroke lengths of 100-1,000 mm (3.9-39.4 in.)
- Resolution to 1 µm
- Absolute linearity of ≤ ±0.025% of full scale for analog and ≤ ±100 µm for digital outputs
- Reproducibility of ≤10 µm for ≤ 400 mm (15.7 in.) stroke lengths and ≤20 µm for >400 stroke lengths for analog outputs
- High-precision mode for digital outputs features repeatability to <5 µm
- Update rate of >10kHz—equivalent to <100 µsec
- Plug-in compatible with many existing sensors including magnetostrictive and resistance track sensors
- Operation within specifications with up to 100 g shock and 20 g vibration
- Sealed to IP67
- Operating temperature range of -40-85 C (-40-185 F)
- Unlimited mechanical life with floating position marker
- Output interfaces include analog voltage or current, SSI, CANopen and IO-Link
