Contactless

Linear Position

Sensor in a Compact Package

A NEW LINE of ILPS-19 Series Inductive Linear Position Sensors

expands the ILPS line form Harold G. Schaevitz Industries LLC. They all use Linear

Variable Inductive Transducers (LVIT) Technology, making the sensors good for

industrial testing labs and OEM applications. The ILPS-19 features contactless

operation, so they will not wear out due to dither or cycling; six ranges from 1 to

8 in. (25 to 200 mm); a good stroke-to-length ratio; a 0.75 in. (19 mm) diameter

anodized aluminum housing sealed to IP-67; radial-cable-exit version with

swivel rod eye ends; and axial termination versions with either M-12 connector

or cable. The sensor will operate from a variety of DC voltages, and it offers a

choice of four analog outputs that all include HGSI’s proprietary SenSet feld

recalibration feature. The ILPS series also includes two larger-body versions, the

ILPS-27 and ILPS-27L, for applications needing a heavier duty unit or a spring-

loaded version called the ILPS-18S.

Swivel Caster Features Locking Swivel and Wheel

THE FLEXELLO SERIES 55 SERIES of swivel casters can move medium-to-

heavy loads over rough foors and in diffcult environments. The pressed-steel

casters feature a formed-leg design for added strength. They are ideal for use

on industrial carts and mobile tables, heavy-duty machinery, aviation, and

aerospace stands. The casters are available in wheel diameters of 6 and 8 in.

with either rubber-on-cast-iron or polyurethane-on-cast-iron wheel materials.

The 6-in. wheels’ overall height is 7-3/4-in.; swivel radius is 4-3/8-in.; tread width

is 1-3/4-in.; and dynamic load capacities of 814 lb for rubber tires and 1,386 lb

for polyurethane tires. 8-in. wheels’ overall height is 9-5/8-in.; swivel radius is 6-in.;

tread width is 2-in.; and dynamic load capacities of 1,177 lb for rubber tires

and 1,595 lb for polyurethane tires..
