About the P116 inductive linear position sensor

Precise embedded position sensing for hydraulic & pneumatic cylinders. The P116 inductive linear sensor is specifically engineered for direct internal mounting in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Its design allows for seamless integration without altering the external cylinder structure, offering compact yet precise feedback in demanding OEM environments.

Robust inductive design with zero wear

Utilizing Althen’s non-contact inductive technology, the P116 offers exceptional reliability, eliminating mechanical wear and extending product lifespan (MTBF: 350,000 hours at 40°C). The sensor delivers a linear analog output signal, factory-calibrated to your required stroke length from 5 mm to 600 mm.

Fully integrated electronics – no external modules

With fully integrated signal conditioning and EMC protection, the P116 supports various output signals (0.5–4.5V, ±5V, 4–20mA) and requires no external electronics. It’s ideal for OEM applications needing minimal installation complexity.

Compact and highly durable

• Linearity: ±0.25% FSO (up to 600 mm)
• Operating Temp: -40°C to +125°C
• Pressure Resistance: up to 350 Bar
• Vibration/Shock Tolerance: 10 g / 40 g
• Housing: Stainless steel, IP67-sealed
• Target tube: Stainless steel or aluminum with optional flange

Whether used in mobile hydraulics, automated systems, or customized industrial actuators, the P116 delivers reliable feedback with superior resistance to vibration, pressure, and temperature extremes.
