OverviewThe PZ12 (Gefran) is a potentiometer-type position sensor with a 1/2 in cylindrical housing designed for compact, versatile industrial installation.
Main features- 1/2 in cylindrical housing for compact installation.
- Multiple mounting systems available: brackets, self-aligning ball-joints, or flange.
- Optimized mechanical structure suitable for special executions and custom variants.
- No electrical output variation outside the theoretical electrical stroke, simplifying installation and setup.
- Typical applications: wood and glass working/finishing machines and automotive test benches.
Ordering & configuration- Typical order code example: PZ12-S-025 0000X000X00.
- Mounting options: S = brackets; A = self-aligning ball-joints; F = flange.
- Available nominal strokes/models: 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 250, 300 (units per model selection).
- Position adjustable via slider or numeric input during configuration; unit selector supports mm, cm, inch, ft.
- Attachments: option to include linearity curve or no certificate.
- Cable length codes: 0 = standard, 2, 3, X = other lengths on request.
- Plastic head color options: 0 = green (default), N = black.
