Alliance Sensors Group (Alliance) has released its LV-45 series inductive, contactless linear position sensor using LVIT Technology. The LV-45 linear position sensors are specifically designed for measuring applications requiring rugged devices. Such applications include but are not limited to measuring positions of steam turbine valves. The LV-45 series was designed after identifying the wants and needs of engineers in the industrial world. That being said, the sensors can withstand the high vibration and severe shock environment found in steel, aluminum, and paper mills, as well as extremes of temperature and humidity found in most outdoor applications where many other types of linear position sensors cannot survive.
Its simple coil design permits the sensor to be both shorter and more rugged than its original counterpart while operating over a wider temperature range. The LV-45 series is available with optional mounting flanges, rod eye ends, connector or cable terminations, and a captive connecting rod assembly that cannot break loose.
