Inductive Linear Position Sensor for Motion Control

For the first time Turck Banner is entering the market for high-speed motion control with its further developed LI inductive linear position sensor. New electronics architecture increases the effective output rate of the sensor from 1 to 5 kHz. In conjunction with the short signal run time (130 µm) and the highly resolved SSi output, the inductive linear position sensors can achieve the performance of potentiometers but without their disadvantages. Unlike potentiometers, the LI sensors offer permanent protection to IP67, provide non-contact measuring and are absolutely wear-free. The magnetic field immune sensors are therefore suitable for measuring axes with high-speed controls such as is used in injection moulding machines. Other application areas include axis measurement in packaging machines, presses or machine tools.
