New Shaft Protected Position Sensors
Southborough, MA… Novotechnik, U.S. introduces the LWX-003/004 Series of position sensors designed for extremely harsh environments. The all metal sensor shaft features a pressure equalization valve and the LWX-004 version also provides rod protection over its range of motion with an SS304 alloy, 0.9 mm thick stainless steel shield.
The LWX Series differential pressure compensation system compensates for the pump effect - pressure that can build up due to push rod movement. This feature, together with a hydraulic shaft seal, provides protection against ingress of liquids and dust. Seal rating is IP67. Backlash-free pivot heads are designed for easy mounting and permit ±12.5% free movement.
Other key specifications for the LWX Series include operation with shock to 50 g and vibration to 20 g, stroke lengths from 50 to 750 mm, linearity to 0.04%, life of more than 50 million movements and repeatability of 0.01 mm.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
