Vishay Intertechnology Rolls Out Industrial Potentiometer Membrane Displacement Sensors
New Range of Vishay Waterproof, Ultraflat Devices Sensor Features IP66 Seal, Long Life > 3 Million Cycles
Vishay Intertechnology unveils new rectilinear and rotational industrial potentiometer membrane displacement sensors. The new Industrial Potentiometer Membrane Displacement Sensors from Vishay Intertechnology are designed to deliver reliable performance in harsh environmental conditions.
The sensors from Vishay features:
IP66 seal and a very thin active layer with a thickness of 0.5 mm, while a double-sided adhesive layer allows for easy assembly.
The devices offer high durability with long life > 3 million cycles (to 10 million and 20 million cycles on request) and operate over a temperature range of -10 °C to +50 °C.
Waterproof and ultraflat, the Vishay MCB UIPMA and UIPMC provide high durability and repeatability for a wide range of applications.
Device Specification Table:
| Part number | UIPMA | UIPMC |
| Type | Rectilinear | Rotational |
| Total resistance | 4.7 kΩ | 10 kΩ |
| Tolerance | ± 30 % | |
| Linearity | ± 2 % | ± 5 % |
| Temperature coefficient | -300 ppm/°C ± 300 ppm/°C | |
Availability
Samples and production quantities of the UIPMA and UIPMC are available now, with lead times of 12 weeks for larger orders.
Key Application Include
With their durable design, the rectilinear UIPMA and rotational UIPMC are ideal for electrical actuators and cylinder positioning systems for aircraft seats, telecom antennas, syringe pumps and hospital beds, AC valve openings, ship masts, lift-truck steering control, and mining equipment for surveying ground movement. RoHS-compliant, the sensors are available in custom designs.
