About the P118 Short-stroke slim-line linear position sensor

Compact and Precise for Short-Stroke Applications. The P118 linear position sensor is designed for engineers who need accurate position feedback in confined or precision-critical installations. With its ultra-slim 19 mm stainless steel body, it fits perfectly into tight industrial spaces while delivering high-performance measurement.

Reliable inductive technology without wear

Using Althen’s non-contact inductive technology, the P118 offers infinite resolution, zero mechanical wear, and a long operational life (MTBF: 350,000 hours at 40°C). Each sensor is factory-calibrated for travel lengths from 2 mm up to 50 mm, ensuring precision where it matters most.

Easy installation and flexible configuration

Mounting options include flange, body clamps, and M5 rod-eye bearings. The plunger can be delivered captive or free, with various tip options: female M4 thread, magnetic, dome, or spring-loaded. Output types include ratiometric (0.5–4.5V), analog voltage, or 4–20mA current output.

Industrial-grade performance

• Linearity: ±0.25% FSO
• Frequency response: >10 kHz
• Operating temperature: -40 °C to +125 °C
• Protection: IP67 sealing, 10 g vibration / 40 g shock
• Materials: Stainless steel housing and plunger

Applications

The P118 is ideal for test benches, compact automation systems, robotics, and OEM applications where both space and performance are critical.
