LXTHUS ILT-AS-100-22-C1 Linear Position Sensor, 100mm, Cylindrical Aluminium, ±0.25%, 24VDC

The sensor provides a standard analog output signal, typically 0-10V or 4-20mA, proportional to the measured position across its 100mm range. This output is generated by its non-contact inductive sensing principle, ensuring a clean signal for direct connection to PLC analog input modules, data loggers, or motion controllers.

This linear position sensor operates on a 24VDC power supply, which is standard for industrial control environments. You must provide a stable 24VDC source; the sensor's datasheet will specify the current consumption for proper power supply sizing. Ensure correct polarity during wiring to prevent damage.

The sensor features a cylindrical aluminium housing designed for simple mounting via a clamp or bracket. For accurate measurement, the sensor must be aligned coaxially with the moving target (e.g., a piston rod or actuator shaft). The non-contact sensing requires the target material to be ferromagnetic (like steel) and within the specified sensing distance.

Yes, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C and a robust aluminium housing, it is suitable for demanding environments including outdoor or unheated industrial spaces. The housing provides basic environmental protection, but for wet or dusty conditions, verify the specific IP rating if available for the complete assembly.
