The FTI Series consists of non-contacting inductive position transducers with a return spring, designed to convert linear displacement into analog output signals. The sensors feature a compact anodized aluminum housing, a stainless steel input shaft with an anti-rotation feature, and a maintenance-free plastic bearing. They are powered by 18-30 VDC, provide standard output signals of 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA, and maintain linearity up to ±0.4% F.S. The devices are electrically interfaceable and sealed to IP50 or IP67, with an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C. The mechanical range is 12 mm, allowing an electrically defined measurement range of 10 mm centered symmetrically. The sensors offer a mechanical life of 100 million movements and weigh 90 g excluding the cable.
Some applications require a position sensor that returns ‘to zero’ on its own. Novotechnik covers these applications with non-contacting and potentiometric sensors offering a wide variety of stroke lengths and other features.
