1508 LINEAR POSITION SENSOR

Product catalog summary
Overview: The 1508 Linear Position Sensor is designed for precise linear and angular measurements with a fully configurable range. It offers both analogue and digital outputs and is known for its non-contact reliability and unlimited mechanical life. The sensor is submersible and suitable for various environmental conditions.
Specifications:
  • Measurement Range: Linear: ±30mm, Angular: ±45° (both configurable).
  • Analogue Output: Voltage range of 0 - 4.2V with a range accuracy of ±0.1mm.
  • Electrical: Operates on a supply voltage of 4.8V DC to 30V DC, with over-voltage protection above 31V DC and reverse polarity protection up to -30V DC. The supply current is less than 10mA with communications.
  • Resolution: 10-bit over the configured range with a sample rate of 1KHz and a rise time of 2ms.
Mechanical:
  • Dimensions: 6 x 77 x 32.5mm (D x W x L).
  • Weight: 25.6 grams excluding cable.
  • Materials Compatibility: Compatible with water, engine oil, engine coolant, diesel fuel, gasoline, salt spray, degreaser, ammonia, and dust.
Environmental:
  • Protection: IP67 rated.
  • Operating Temperature: Standard range from -40° to +85°C, with an optional range up to +125°C.
Output Options:
  • PWM Output: Frequency options of 250Hz or 1KHz.
  • Serial Output: RS232, 19.2K 8N data type.
  • Switch Output: Switch to GND, 30 VDC Max, 8mA.
Wiring Options: Various wiring options are available, including 30 AWG 6 wire (85°C) and 28 AWG 6 wire (125°C).
Installation: The sensor requires a metallic activator mounted 0.5-2mm from the sensing face. It can be mechanically mounted or machined into the application for minimal installation overhead.
