LPPS-22 Series Linear Potentiometer Travel Sensor with Rod End Joints

Harold G. Schaevitz Industries LLC (HGSI) has expanded its sensor product offering by adding resistive technology to its portfolio of linear position sensors. The LPPS-22 series of linear potentiometers offer a cost effective solution to sensing requirements in the factory automation marketplace. LPPS-22 series potentiometers are expertly constructed to satisfy applications like automotive, robotic control, X-Y table feedback, injection molding machine slides, press or die arm position, control valve shaft position, and mil / aero test stands.

Features of the LPPS-22:

• Full ranges from 1 to 12 inches (25 to 300 mm)
• Self-aligning swivel rod eyes on both ends
• Environmentally sealed to IEC IP-61
• Operating temperature -40 to 95 C
• Linearity better than 0.10%

The ruggedly constructed 22 mm OD anodized aluminum housing with a 1 m 3-conductor cable keeps out dust and permits an LPPS-22 shock absorber suspension travel potentiometer to withstand high shocks (50 gs single hit) and vibration (20 gs). Swivel rod eye ends are standard to facilitate self-alignment during installation.  Depending on range, LPPS-22 series potentiometers are powered with a maximum input of between 12 and 36 Volts DC at 12 mA or less, and their maximum output resistance varies between 1 and 5 kilohms.
