Ruggedised displacement transducers are sealed to IP68
Solartron Metrology is launching an extensive range of digital displacement transducers for use in demanding environments. Based on the company's popular S range, the new SR series is available with environmental ratings up to IP68 and pressures of 100bar.
All models have stainless steel bodies and can be supplied with mineral insulated cable for a high level of chemical resistance. High-temperature options are also available.
The absolute linear position sensors were developed to meet customer demand for rugged sensors to operate in harsh conditions as encountered in process control, hydraulics, laboratory, transport and offshore applications.
DC/DC and 4-20mA versions use onboard signal conditioning developed for the S series, and also offer extra screening against electrical interference.
Their modular construction enables guided or free core versions to be specified, and screw-mount options provide easier installation where conventional mounting clamps could be a problem.
Stock is available with short lead times as a result of Solartron's investments in manufacturing plant, tooling and calibration systems at its manufacturing facility in West Sussex.
