Hoffmann + Krippner Release Inelta IZAL Series

Hoffmann + Krippner has released its Inelta IZAL series sensors. These devices ensure precise path length measurements in applications with highly confined spaces, the company states.

According to a company press release, the 4mm diameter housing of these Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) sensors are barely larger than a matchstick, their interior provides a complete and powerful differential transformer measuring system with a core and coils.

The contact, wear-free sensors for displacement and position detection have a linear tolerance of ±5% are designed for measuring ranges of 1, 2.5 and 5 mm. They are housed in nickel-plated steel had have a temperature range of -25 to +85°C (-13 to -121°F).

“The production of such a tiny sensor requires utmost precision. The small coils are wound with a special winding machine,” said Michael Fiala, developer at Inelta Sensorsysteme GmbH & Co. KG. “This new IZAL series sensor provides engineers and developers a reliable sensor with the highest measurement accuracy, especially for applications with extremely little space.”
