Inelta Sensorsysteme is a German leading developer and manufacturer of sensors for force, displacement and path length measurement. They also develop and produce displacement transducers and position switches for hydraulic applications. These differential transformers are mainly used in stationary hydraulics as well as in aircraft, vehicle and mobile hydraulics. The Inelta hydraulic series have internal measuring amplifiers for the current and voltage output and can withstand high pressures. Media contacting components withstand pressure peaks of up to 1200 bar. All hydraulic LVDT sensors measure in the µm range and operate hysteresis-free. Offset and gain can be adjusted using integrated electronics. A zero point setting is also provided. The LVDT-IHDL-M16 series for use in switch over and proportional valves is one of the displacement sensors adapted to hydraulic applications. A special feature is the removable sensor of the IHDL-M16 model, while the flange and pressure tube remain hydraulically sealed to the valve. Inelta manufactures this sensor series for pressures up to 350 bar and in special versions up to 500 bar. Sensor properties such as flange, measuring travel and supply voltage can be customized on request. With the LVDT-IHDZ displacement sensor, Inelta has an intermediate sensor with integrated measuring amplifier for proportional valves in its portfolio. The sensor with IP65 is designed for a maximum pressure of 350 bar. As a further solution specified for hydraulic applications, the sensor expert has developed precision position switches from the LVDT-IHDL series with an adjustable switching point. The inductive switches, which are suitable for pressure ranges up to 1000 bar and have a normally open / normally closed contact type, are available with an M16 female or M20 male thread and optionally with two adjustable switching outputs. In addition to its own product series, Inelta Sensorsysteme also produces customer-specific OEM versions or system solutions with integrated sensors.

Force sensors in applications that require high measuring accuracy should be recalibrated at certain intervals, as they lose precision due to ageing, temperature effects, cleaning procedures or other factors. Regular recalibration is also required as part of operational quality management in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001. The sensor specialist Inelta has its own accredited test laboratory with Vypro (www.vypro.de), which is part of the group of companies. This enables Inelta to supply its force sensors not only with the required factory calibrations but also with a calibration certificate valid throughout Europe in accordance with ISO 376 and to carry out independent recalibrations. Calibration in accordance with ISO 376 with multiple preloads and different load levels allows the characteristic values for nominal force, hysteresis and repeatability to be determined precisely and the measurement uncertainty of the force transducer to be determined exactly for each load level. The Inelta calibration service includes both products manufactured in-house and third-party products in the measuring range from 0.1kN to 200kN. Tension force sensors, compression force sensors, ring force sensors, bending and shear bars as well as tension measuring straps, special force sensors and load measuring pins are calibrated. The traceability of the sensor calibration is ensured via the serial number. In addition, Vypro performs application-specific calibrations and offers a repair service for test specimens as well as an express service on request. The Vypro calibration laboratory is accredited in accordance with the European standard ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 by the accreditation body SNAS for the mechanical measurand force.

Due to many years of experience, own coil and LVDT production, Inelta Sensorsysteme is considered a proven specialist in the development and production of these inductive precision sensors. Due to their non-contact measuring principle, the hysteresis-free LVDTs achieve a virtually unlimited resolution, which depends only on the quality of the signal amplification. With their high measurement precision, repeatability, and principle-based freedom from wear, they are therefore ideal for applications requiring maximum reliability and long service life. Inelta's wide range of LVDTs includes the LVDT-ISDP and LVDT-ISAP series with pneumatic push rod for measuring travels from 5 mm to 50 mm. The inductive sensors, which are available both with and without an integrated measuring amplifier in three device sizes, enable exact position determination of, for example, plate materials with a measuring accuracy of up to =0.1 mm. For long-term monitoring of bridge statics, Inelta's product range includes the LVDT-ISAG-300-k model, a weatherproof sensor that reliably detects even the smallest displacements at critical load points. The LVDT-IOAG series is tailored to particularly demanding environmental and operating conditions. The structure, welded housing and cable design reliably protect the LVDT from penetrating seawater or brackish water. This predestines this sensor version with 100 mm measuring travel for use, for example, in bridge surveying, heavy machinery, road and rail construction or railroad and power plant technology. In addition, Inelta assembles LVDTs for heavy machinery on request in robust hexagonal housings for customer-preferred wrench sizes to simplify sensor replacement under harsh conditions. Supplementary, the manufacturer can modify the LVDT designs to suit specific applications, for example with a sensing function, as a displacement transducer with a continuous push rod or with oil compensation holes. Inelta also offers suitable solutions for inductive displacement measurement in miniature format, such as the IKDT displacement sensor in a stainless-steel housing. With a diameter of only 8 mm and sensing lengths of 2, 5, 10 and 20 mm, the miniature sensor with integrated measuring amplifier requires only minimal installation space and measures extremely precisely with a linearity deviation of only ±0.3 %.
