Balluff's Micropulse BIW transducer uses pulse-inductive technology to provide high performance and reliability with a non-contact design that allows drop-in-fit replacement for pots.

The BIW's wear-free, non-contact design is claimed to eliminate performance degradation over time, the principal cause of down time and loss of accuracy in pots. The design is suitable for any application where old-style linear pots are used, such as plastic injection moulding machines, blow moulding machines, stamping presses, woodworking machinery, hydraulic motion bases and others where linear motion must be monitored and/or controlled. The Micropulse BIW is available with an analog 0 to 10 V or -10 to +10 V output. It has a 20 kHz update rate, nonlinearity of 0.02% and resolution down to 5 µm. It is immune to external EMI and available in stroke lengths from 75 to 750 mm.
