Turck LI-Q17 inductive miniature linear displacement sensor
23 April, 2011 | Supplied by: Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Designed for very short measuring ranges between 50 and 200 mm, the LI-Q17 miniature linear displacement sensor doesn’t work with a magnetic locator but with the resonant circuit measuring principle, where an object’s position is detected via an inductive oscillating system, consisting of a condenser and a coil. The sensor is designed to work reliably where the functionality of a magnetic position device is affected by electromagnetic fields caused by large motors or welding plants.
