P103

Positek

Part no.: P103

Key Features

• Body Diameter: 35mm

• Sensor Mounting: Flange or Body ClampsSpring loaded pushrod option available

• Available in any measurement range from 0-2mm to 0-50mm (for 51-100mm range see P133)

• Sealed to IP65/67 depending on connector/cable option

The P103 is a durable, affordable, high accuracy short stroke linear inductive position sensor designed for use in industrial and scientific applications. It is very compact and offers an excellent stroke to overall length ratio. Each unit is supplied calibrated to the exact travel required by the customer, for example, if your application requires 1″” (25 mm) measurement then Positek will manufacture the sensor specifically for this length.The mechanical length and calibration will be set up for 25mm. The P103 is available with any travel from 0-2mm to 0-50mm.

The overall performance, repeat-ability and stability are outstanding over a wide temperature range. The sensor has a rugged stainless steel body and plunger.
The P103 sensor is particularly easy to install with either flanged housing or body clamps. The plunger can be supplied captive or free with either female M4 thread or spring loaded with dome end. The P103 is available with a wide range of electrical inputs/outputs, sealing up to IP65/IP67 dependent on connector/cable options and fully integrated EMC protection.

Availability and the Three-Legged Stool analogy at Everight

While they may be small, the role of rotary encoders in spacecraft is vital, demanding a balance between performance, reliability, and the unforgiving environment of space. From NASA’s Robonaut II to automated material handling systems on the International Space Station, Everight has worked with engineers to put rotary encoders into ‘the final frontier.’

Facing the Inevitable: Sensor Obsolescence, Mitigation Strategies, and Alternatives

Obsolescence. If its only difficulty was remembering how it is spelled it wouldn’t be so bad. And whether you’re trying to replace a sensor that has failed with age or are a manufacturer who can no longer source an important sensor, obsolescence of an inexpensive sensor can create extremely expensive headache. At Everight Position we help customers to understand the causes of sensor obsolescence, explore mitigation strategies and find alternative solutions.

‘Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap’ – The Gill Blade Sensor

Not all sensors live easy lives. While some will go on to do noble things such as aiding in medical surgery robotics or will find lives in cutting-edge cobots such as Boston Dynamic’s spot, others will live simpler, yet equally important lives, this article is dedicated to one of those unsung heroes, the Gill Blade Sensor.

NASA- Robonaut 2

Robonaut 2 (R2) is a state-of-the-art, highly dexterous anthropomorphic robot. The robot is designed to work with humans and has the ability to use the same workspace and tools.

The robot joints incorporate dual encoders for position and torque feedback while performing in a dynamic application, vibration, shocks, and wide temperature range.
