Linear displacement sensor LS02

potentiometeranalogwith potentiometric output

Overview
LS02 is a potentiometric linear displacement sensor. It measures the rod travel by resistance variation and provides an analog output proportional to position. Fitted with a spring that holds the rod retracted at rest, it delivers long mechanical life and is suitable for multiple industrial applications, including crack monitoring.
