Linear displacement sensor LS05

potentiometeranalog outputwith potentiometric output

Overview

• Measurement ranges: 0 to 10…0 to 100 mm
• Long mechanical life
• Excellent repeatability: <0.01 mm
• Resolution: infinite
• Resistance: 2 kΩ (<75 mm), 5 kΩ (≥75 mm and <100 mm)

Description
The LS05 displacement probe is a linear position sensor using potentiometric technology (resistance variation) to measure rod travel and provide a proportional analog signal. The sensor includes an internal spring that returns the rod to the rest position and delivers a long mechanical life. It is suited to versatile industrial applications, including crack monitoring and small displacement measurement.

Signal note
The LS05 provides a proportional analog signal that requires conditioning/processing for reading, acquisition or display (indicator/conditioner/converter).
