Linear displacement sensor LS08

potentiometeranalogwith potentiometric output

Presentation

• LS08 potentiometric linear sensor for rod displacement measurement.
• Measuring range: 0 to 50 … 0 to 600 mm.
• Output: analog proportional signal (resistance variation).

Detailed description
The LS08 uses potentiometer technology (resistance variation) to measure the travel of its rod. It provides long mechanical life and excellent repeatability for industrial applications. The sensor is designed for versatile use in test benches, presses, hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders and automation systems. Spherical rod-end mounts simplify mechanical installation. Option: available with COFRAC calibration certificate or COFRAC-equivalent report.
