About the P130 Long-stroke in-cylinder linear position sensor
Robust and accurate position feedback for cylinders. The P130 sensor delivers reliable linear position feedback for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in demanding industrial settings. Engineered for long strokes and harsh conditions, the P130 is compact, highly accurate, and resistant to environmental stress.
Advanced inductive sensing for long life
This sensor leverages Althen’s proven non-contact inductive technology, eliminating wear and increasing service life. With infinite resolution and stable performance over wide temperature ranges, it offers a long MTBF of 350,000 hours at 40 °C.
The P130 provides a linear analog output, factory-calibrated for any travel range between 400 mm and 1485 mm, and supports multiple voltage and current output types.
Customizable for easy cylinder integration
Designed for internal cylinder mounting, the P130 features robust stainless steel construction and a fluoropolymer-sheathed probe. Target tubes are available in stainless steel or aluminum, and various thread types and mounting flanges are supported.
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
Ideal for OEMs in mobile hydraulics, heavy equipment, automation, or cylinder manufacturing requiring long-stroke measurement.
