> oscillating +/- 1V You want a P-JFET. Since your app is industrial you will have no troubles finding one with low enough Vg0 (to be able to turn it off with 5V). You want one with Vg0 of about 3V. There will be some parametric distortion of the signal (which should appear as a higher 2nd harmonic in the output imho) but it should work ok in your application. If for any reason this makes the oscillator unstable then you have to change the feedback path to attenuate higher frequencies more. But this is not likely to be needed.
