Wear-free measurement: TR-Electronic presents linear absolute displacement transducer LMP48 
The new linear absolute displacement sensor LMP48 undertakes general positioning tasks in mechanical engineering, plastic injection machines, and feed and setting axes. Moreover, it can be used, for instance, as a wear-free alternative to potentiometers. 
Contactless and wear-free measurement of linear movements increases machine availability. No initialisation of the machines is required even after a power failure.
The compact design of the LMP48 allows for unproblematic use even under limited space conditions. The flat profile housing with its clamp-on design makes mounting easy. The measurement profile can be adjusted to a variety of mounting situations by means of spacers. Easy connection via M12 standard plugs reduces costs. 
The LMP48 allows for measuring lengths between 0.3 m and 3 m, with a resolution of 5/100 mm, and linearity from 0.01% FS. The wide choice of interfaces (Analog, SSI, CAN) allows for a flexible range of use. The LMP48 is resistant to vibrations and temperature fluctuations, and guarantees reliable tightness due to protection class IP 67.
