July 22, 2021 - H. G. Schaevitz LLC, Alliance Sensors Group has expanded its sensor product offering using LVIT Technology by adding the LZ-13 Series of miniature linear position sensors. Designed and manufactured in Moorestown, NJ, USA, the LZ-13 series LVITs are contactless devices designed for use in OEM, factory automation, or assembly machinery applications where space is a premium.
These miniature LVITs are offered in nominal full scale ranges from 2.5 to 300 mm (0.1 to 12 inches) with their electronics built into the sensor body, eliminating the need for separate signal conditioning.
The sensor has a 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) outside diameter stainless steel body with a 1-m long axial cable for I/O connections.
The 4.75 mm (0.187 inch) diameter through-bore of an LZ-13 provides clearance for its 4 mm (0.156 inch) diameter stainless steel target rod, and also means that these sensors will not be damaged by mechanical overstroking. LZ-13 Features:
- LVIT Technology (Linear Variable Inductance Transducer)
- Contactless operation prevents wearout from dithering or rapid cycling
- Excellent stroke-to-body-length ratio
- Full Scale ranges from 2.5 to 300 mm (0.1 to 12 inches)
- Through-bore design eliminates mechanical overstroking damage
- DC in / DC out operation with built-in electronics
- Proprietary SenSet field adjustable range scaling
