8151V2T5L.5LT

Position Sensors - Angle, Linear Position Measuring

The 8151V2T5L.5LT is a general-purpose rotary position measuring transducer which combines the advantages of both optical and contact measuring principles. It is designed to determine the angle of a shaft or the linear position of any other piece in relation to a reference point.

Application Field

This transducer has been successfully applied in diverse fields such as hydraulic actuators, vehicle control systems, robotics and automation, fluid dynamics control, aerospace control systems and more. The 8151V2T5L.5LT provides a 98.2% accuracy and offers up to 80 degree of range, which is suitable for most applications.

Working Principle

When attached to a shaft, this transducer detects the rotary effect of the shaft’s rotation. When the shaft is rotated, a non-contact optical sensor fixed to the housing of the transducer determines the rotation angle. At the same time, a contact rotor rotates with the shaft and contacts a linear potentiometer, which varies the voltage signal corresponding to the position of the shaft.

The 8151V2T5L.5LT provides a voltage output and thus, no complicated signal processing is needed. The output from this transducer is highly reliable and its effect is not affected by temperature, vibration or force. This makes it very suitable for applications where accuracy and reliability are important.

Summary

In summary, the 8151V2T5L.5LT is a general-purpose rotary position measuring transducer which combines the advantages of both optical and contact measuring principles. It offers high accuracy and reliable output even in tough conditions and is suitable for applications in hydraulic actuators, vehicle control systems, robotics and automation, fluid dynamics control, aerospace control systems and more.
