The TWK IW 251/40-0,5 is an inductive linear displacement transducer operating on the differential choke principle. A mu-metal plunger moves through coils, causing inductance changes that provide precise position feedback. The sensor is encapsulated in a stainless steel housing for protection against vibration, shock, humidity, oil, and corrosive substances. It offers infinite resolution, no hysteresis, and is protected against short circuits and reverse polarity.
