Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the VLP50 sensor?

The VLP50 provides an analog potentiometric (voltage divider) output. As the wiper moves along the 5 kΩ resistive element, the output voltage between the wiper and one end terminal changes proportionally to the position, providing a simple ratiometric signal for direct reading by ADCs or controllers.

What is the maximum supply voltage I can use?

The sensor is rated for a supply voltage up to 42 VDC. It is crucial not to exceed this voltage to prevent damage to the internal resistive track and ensure long-term accuracy and reliability. Always verify your system's voltage matches this specification.

How do I mount the VLP50 linear position sensor?

The sensor features a self-aligning spherical bearing mount at its moving end. This design allows for minor angular misalignments between the sensor shaft and the moving part, reducing binding and wear. Ensure the sensor body is securely fixed, and the moving element is connected correctly to the shaft for accurate measurement.

What is the meaning of the ±0.1% accuracy specification?

The ±0.1% specification refers to linearity error, which is the maximum deviation of the sensor's output from a perfect straight line drawn between the zero and full-scale positions. A ±0.1% error over a 50 mm stroke means the positional error is within ±0.05 mm, indicating very high precision.
