Inductive technology eliminates wear in submersible rotary sensor

Positek has launched a new rotary position sensor, the compact and durable S508 rotary sensor, which is fully sealed to IP68 10 bar and IP69K with shaft drive, flange mount and 35 mm diameter housing in 316 stainless-steel.

The precision sensor offers an independent linearity to ±0.25 % FSO (0.1% FSO on request) with factory-set angle measurement up to 160°, and full 360° mechanical rotation. The company says maximum performance and reliability is supported with impressive specifications for temperature range, temperature coefficient, vibration, and shock plus an extremely long MTBF life of 350,000 hours at 40 degrees.

For maximum application flexibility the calibrated angle output can be supplied in a wide choice of instrument-level voltage and current output options as ratiometric or buffered signals that are available across most common supply input voltages from ±5V DC to ±24V DC.
