Inductive linear displacement transducers IW250

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and technical data for the TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH Inductive Linear Displacement Transducers, Model IW250. These transducers are designed for precise measurement of linear displacement with various measuring strokes and output signals.
Specifications:
  • Measuring Strokes: Available in 20 mm, 40 mm, 100 mm, and 200 mm.
  • Output Signals: Calibrated outputs include 0...20 mA, 4...20 mA, ±10 V, and 0...10 V.
  • Accuracy: Up to 0.1%.
  • Protection Class: Up to IP 68.
  • Construction: Features a contactless, robust sensor system with infinite resolution and no hysteresis.
Construction and Operating Principle: The transducer operates on the principle of a differential choke, consisting of two coils in a stainless steel cylinder. A mu-metal plunger core alters inductance as it moves, which is converted into a proportional signal by the integral electronics.
Technical Data:
  • Supply Voltage: 21.5 to 32 VDC or ±13 to ±16 VDC.
  • Temperature Range: Operating from -10°C to +80°C, storage from -30°C to +80°C.
  • Resistance: Shock resistance of 250g SRS and vibration resistance of 20g rms.
  • Protection: IP 66 with connector, IP 68 with cable.
Output Details:
  • Current Output (IW 251 to IW 254): 0...20 mA or 4...20 mA with a maximum output current of 25 mA.
  • Voltage Output (IW 255 to IW 25B): ±10 VDC or 0...10 VDC with a permissible load of 2 kΩ.
Special Versions and Accessories: Various configurations are available, including protective tubes, gauge types with return springs, and versions with ball joints. Accessories like mating plugs and mounting blocks are also offered.
Materials: The transducer components are made from chrome-nickel steel, mu-metal, brass, and gold-plated contacts.
Calibration: The sensor system and plunger core are calibrated as a unit, ensuring precise measurement.
Installation and Dimensions: Detailed installation drawings and dimensions are provided for different versions, including those with ball joints and cable exits.

Inductive linear displacement transducers IW250-1

Inductive linear displacement transducers Model IW250 Measuring strokes: 20 mm, 40 mm, 100 mm, 200 mm ■ Contactless, robust sensor system ■ Infinite resolution, no hysteresis ■ Calibrated output signals: 0...20 mA, 4...20 mA, ± 10 V, 0...10 V ■ Integral electronics for DC in / DC out ■ Accuracy up to 0.1% ■ Gauge type up to 100 mm ■ Protection class up to IP 68 * Increasing means that the output signal increases positively when the plunger is moved in the direction towards the plug. Construction and operating principle The displacement transducer operates according to the principle of the differential choke, i.e. an inductive half bridge. It consists of two coils which are encapsulated in a stainless steel cylinder. A mu-metal plunger core causes opposing changes of inductance when it is displaced through the centre of the coils. These changes are converted by the integral electronic circuit into a signal proportional to the displacement. The circuit contains an oscillator, demodulator, amplifier and in some cases, a current output source. It is short-circuit proof and protected against reverse polarity. The transducers are completely sealed to ensure positive protection against vibration, shock, humidity, oil and corrosive matter. Standard measuring strokes: 20 mm, 40 mm, 100 mm, 200 mm The following variants can be supplied upon request: ■ Extension of above measuring strokes depending on accuracy tolerances as follows (without increase of case length): □ for 0.5% tolerances: standard stroke + 15 mm □ for 0.25% tolerances: standard stroke + 10 mm ■ Calibration of shorter strokes within the above standard ranges (without change of case length),e.g. IW 251/40 becomes IW 251/30, i.e. 0 to 30 mm equals 0 to 20 mA. ■ Measuring strokes up to 270 mm within case of IW 250 /200 (requiring larger linearity tolerances and longer plunger length). Subject to special agreement. Other supply voltages upon request. Note: The type IW 255 replaces the previous type IW 25 and is fully interchangeable with it, both mechanically and electrically.
