Linear displacement sensor LS04

spring-loaded potentiometerpotentiometeranalog output

Presentation
The LS04 is a potentiometric plunger-type linear displacement sensor. It uses potentiometric technology (resistance variation) and provides an analog signal proportional to the rod position. Fitted with a spring that holds the rod extended at rest, the sensor delivers long mechanical life and is suitable for various industrial applications, including crack measurement.

Key points

• Measuring range: 0 to 10…0 to 100 mm
• Long mechanical life
• Excellent repeatability < 0.01 mm
• Resolution: infinite (potentiometric technology)

Applications
Proportional position sensor for linear measurements and displacement control in industrial environments (examples: crack measurement, positioning, quality control).
