S623 Submersible Large Angle Tilt Sensor

The 350bar S623 tilt sensor is an affordable, durable, high-accuracy sensor designed for underwater marine and offshore applications. The S623, like all Positek® sensors, is supplied with the output calibrated to the angle required by the customer, between 15 and 160 degrees. The sensor provides a linear output characteristic with angle of deflection. There is a machined registration mark to identify the calibrated mid point.

It is particularly suitable for OEMs seeking good sensor performance for arduous applications such as industrial machinery where cost is important.

Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over a wide temperature range. It is sealed to IP68 350bar (5000psi, 3500m depth).

The sensor has a rugged stainless steel body and mounting flange. The S623 offers a range of electrical options. Full EMC protection is built in.

Description

The Positek S623 submersible large angle tilt sensor 350bar is an affordable, durable, high-accuracy sensor designed for underwater marine and offshore applications. The S623 submersible large angle sensor, like all Positek® sensors, is supplied with the output calibrated to the angle required by the customer, between 15 and 160 degrees. The sensor provides a linear output characteristic with angle of deflection. There is a machined registration mark to identify the calibrated mid point.

It is particularly suitable for OEMs seeking good sensor performance for arduous applications such as industrial machinery where cost is important.

Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over a wide temperature range. It is sealed to IP68 350bar (5000psi, 3500m depth).

The sensor has a rugged 316 stainless steel body and mounting flange. The S623 offers a range of electrical options. Full EMC protection is built in.

As a leading designer and manufacturer of linear, rotary, tilt and intrinsically safe position sensors, Positek® has the expertise to suppy a sensor to suit a wide variety of applications. Positek’s PIPS® technology (Positek Inductive Position Sensor) is a major advance in displacement sensor design. PIPS®-based displacement transducers have the simplicity of a potentiometer with the life of an LVDT/RVDT. We also offer a range of ATEX-qualified intrinsically safe sensors.

Positek offers a range of options for its standard sensors. Each sensor is manufactured to suit each customer's preferences. If your requirement is outside the options given below, Positek can modify/ redesign a sensor to suit your specific requirement. Standard options are available as below:

 

Measurement Range

Factory set to any length from ±7.5° to ±80° in increments of 1°. For example, if your application requires 90° measurement, then Positek will manufacture the sensor specifically for this angular range. The sensor will measure 90° however will still rotate through 360°.
