Linear Position Sensor Suited for the Power Generation Industry

July 20, 2016
Series LVDT linear position sensors are designed to handle the environment found around power generation turbines. Available in ranges from 3 inches (75 mm) to 15 inches (375 mm), the LA-27-A is ideal for valve position feedback in steam and hydro power plants, as well as use in heavy duty applications like factory automation, civil engineering, and fluid power systems. It can operate in hostile factory environments such as lubricant and chemical mists, airborne grit and dust, and survive industrial wash downs. Mated with ASG's model S1A DIN-rail-mountable LVDT signal conditioner, an LA-27-A LVDT becomes an ideal solution for heavy-duty position sensing applications.

Features:

• Stock ranges from 3 inches to 15 in. (75 mm to 375 mm)

• Core enclosed in 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) diameter extension rod with 5/16-24 or 8 mm male threaded end

• 1.050 in. (26.7 mm) diameter heavy wall aluminum housing (stainless steel available)

• Two double-contact shaft seals keep out contaminants

• Heavy-duty connector or cable termination

• Continuous operation to 250°F (120°C)

• Environmentally sealed to IEC IP-68
