After the success of the inductive linear displacement sensors, LI-series, Turck presents an angle sensor family that works with the same revolutionary measuring principle and unites all the positive qualities of customary measuring systems in one solution. With the new RI-sensors, the position of the angle isn't measured with a magnetic locator any longer but by an inductive resonant circuit. That way the sensor is totally immune to magnetic fields, like those produced by large drives or welding machines.
The RI-sensors have a measurement range of 360° at an accuracy of 0,15 percent of the final value. The separated construction of the sensor unit and the locator as well as an offset compensation of ±4 mm guarantees an easy installation and a safe operation of the sensors. The locator can be mounted flexibly onto solid- or hollow shafts. The contactless principle compensates bearing tolerances of the applications as reliably as vibrations that are caused by the jolting of shafts. That guarantees a high linearity. The sensor is also adaptable on the output side: 0…10V-, 4…20mA-, 0,5…4,5V and SSI-interfaces are available.
With its high interference resistance, the solid case and the infinite mechanical life-span, RI-sensors are suitable for numerous application fields, for example for the adjustment of rotor blades at wind energy plants or for tracking solar panels, just to name but two.
