Inductive linear transducers IW120

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and design details for the inductive linear transducers of the IW 120 model series by TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH. These transducers are designed for precise measurement applications with various measuring strokes ranging from 12 mm to 200 mm.
Key Specifications:
  • Contactless and robust system with infinite resolution and no hysteresis.
  • Linearity options of 0.5% or 0.25%.
  • Protection type IP 66, with cable options providing IP 68 protection.
  • Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +100°C for standard designs, and -40°C to +85°C for connector designs.
  • Shock resistance of 250 g SRS and vibration resistance of 20 g rms.
Design and Function: The transducers operate on the differential throttle principle using inductive half-bridges. They consist of two coils encased in a Mu-metal cylinder, protected from vibrations. A Mu-metal plunger alters the induction direction when displaced through the coil body.
Technical Data:
  • Standard measuring strokes: 12, 24, 40, 60, 100, 150, 200 mm.
  • Housing material is stainless steel, and the plunger is made of nickel-iron.
Variants and Accessories:
  • Design S: Connector with gold-plated contacts.
  • Design T: Gauge version with return spring for strokes up to 100 mm.
  • Design KV, KF, KH: Variants with ball joints on the plunger or housing.
Supply and Signal Processing: External modules such as OD 15, OV 15, OE 30, and OE 42 are used for supply and signal processing, offering various output options like DC voltage and current signals.
Electrical Connections: The transducers provide a positively ascending output signal when the plunger moves towards the electrical connections.
Dimensions and Weights: Detailed dimensions and weights are provided for different design forms and measuring strokes, including options with connectors and cables.
Additional Notes: The document emphasizes that housings and plungers are matched and should not be interchanged. Further technical data can be found in related data sheets OD 10220 and OA 10219.

Inductive linear transducers IW120-1

■ Contactless, robust system ■ Infinite resolution ■ No hysteresis ■ Linearity 0.5 % or 0.25 % ■ Protection type IP 66 (with cable IP 68) ■ Supply and signal processing through external modules ■ Housing material: Stainless steel (1.4305) Plunger Material: nickel-iron (stainless) Design and function The linear transducers operate according to the differential throttle principle (inductive half-bridges). They consist of two coils which are impermeably cast into a Mu-metal cylinder, where they are protected from vibrations. On displacement through the hollow coil body, a Mu-metal plunger leads to a change in the induction direction in both coils. The linear transducers are designed for an oscillator frequency of 10 kHz. The supply and signal processing are carried out by external modules. Standard measuring strokes: 12, 24, 40, 60, 100, 150, 200 mm Note: Unless otherwise specified, the values apply at an ambient temperature of +20 °C and on use of the transducer with oscillator/demodulator OD15 according to data sheet OD 10220. The housings and plungers are assigned to each other and bear the same serial number. They must not be interchanged.
