Performance highlights S115 Submersible linear inductive position sensor
The S115 is a rugged, compact linear position sensor engineered for demanding submerged applications. It offers exceptional accuracy, repeatability, and stability across a wide temperature range. Using Althen's non-contacting inductive technology, the S115 ensures minimal wear and a long operational life.
Usage conditions
Designed for use in submerged and high-vibration environments, the sensor features a corrosion-resistant stainless steel body and push rod. Its environmental sealing meets IP68 (10 bar) and IP69K standards, making it ideal for continuous underwater use up to 100 meters.
Possible applications
- Submersible actuator position feedback
- Marine and offshore systems
- Scientific research instrumentation
- Heavy-duty hydraulic control
- Industrial automation in wet environments
Advantages of choosing this product
Unlike traditional LVDTs, the S115 combines the robustness of inductive technology with a compact form factor and easy integration. It eliminates wear-prone components and provides a wide variety of output signals, rod-end and mounting configurations.
