P137 Slim-line linear position sensor

Compact, contactless linear position sensor with up to 600 mm stroke. Ideal for industrial and scientific OEM applications where space and durability matter.


Key features

  • Compact 19 mm stainless steel housing for tight spaces
  • Calibrated travel up to 600 mm per customer request
  • High resolution with infinite output steps
  • IP67 sealed and vibration resistant up to 10 g
  • Optional outputs: voltage (0.5–4.5 V, 0.5–9.5 V), 4–20 mA
  • Flexible mounting with M5 rod eye, stud, or magnetic tip

About the P137 Slim-line linear position sensor

Reliable Position Feedback in a Compact Format. The P137 is a slim-line linear position sensor designed for space-constrained environments. With a body diameter of just 19 mm and stroke lengths up to 600 mm, it provides accurate and stable position feedback in both industrial and scientific settings.

Engineered for OEM integration

Optimized for integration into OEM systems, the P137 features a stainless steel housing and push rod, with mounting configurations that include M5 rod-eye bearings, M5 male studs, or optional magnetic tips. Push rod designs can be retained or free, depending on installation needs.

Custom stroke & high linearity

Each sensor is factory-calibrated to the desired stroke length (from 0 to 600 mm). Independent linearity is ≤ ±0.25% FSO at 20°C, with tighter tolerances (≤ ±0.1%) available upon request.

Robust electrical & environmental performance

The sensor operates reliably across a wide temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) and is rated IP67 for dust and water protection. It includes options for axial or radial cable/connector configurations and supports a variety of output signals with low noise and infinite resolution.

Applications

  • Cylinder position feedback in automation systems
  • Scientific instrumentation
  • Motion control in tight spaces
  • Custom OEM equipment requiring compact sensing
