1484 “Blade” Linear Position Sensor

25mm linear or 90° angular measurement

Fully configurable range

No moving sensor parts

Unlimited mechanical life

Analogue/digital output

The Blade25 is a fully programmable Inductive Position Sensor, capable of measuring up to 25mm of linear movement or 90° of rotation. The sensor uses induction technology to detect the position of a non-contact metallic activating object.

Compact, light and robust, the Blade25 position sensor is fully electronic with integrated processing and is supplied with the BladeCOM user interface, allowing users to configure the measurement range and output signals, amongst other parameters, to provide a fully programmable sensor with extended accuracy and reliability.

With a constant air gap between the moving part and the position transducer, mechanical wear of the transducer is eliminated providing excellent long-term reliability even in the most extreme operating environments.

The 25mm Position Sensor (-40 – +125 °C) houses two inductive coils that determine the position of the metallic activator, and has been designed to allow measurement of both linear (up to 25mm) and angular rotation (up to 90° approx) position. It is also possible to monitor non-uniform movement provided that the movement is repeatable.
