SS-7 Series
LVIT Linear Position Sensor for Subsea
LVIT for Subsea High Pressure & PBOF Environments - NO MAGNET REQUIRED!

The SS-7 series LVIT (Linear Variable Inductance Transducer) position sensors from Alliance Sensors Group have been designed to give cylinder position feedback in subsea environments with depths up to 12,000 ft or in a PBOF (pressure balanced oil filled) chamber; for oil and gas exploration, blow out preventers, ROVs, and relief valves.

The SS-7 requires no magnet and is based on a proprietary, contactless, inductive, sensing technology that employs a 7 mm diameter probe with good stroke-to-length ratio to save space. The 1-inch diameter, 316 stainless steel housing comes with a subsea connector. They are offered in ranges from 1 to 36 inches (25 to 900 mm) full scale with a wide variety of analog I/Os. The SS-7 sensors are also offered with ASG’s proprietary SenSet™ feature whereby a sensor’s analog output can be easily adjusted in the field after installation to match the range of motion of the cylinder rod.

Technical datasheets and additional information can be found below.
