Linear position sensor WGO20

potentiometeranalogrugged

Linear position sensor with wirewound element, hermetically sealed, measuring ranges 50–200 mm for harsh environments Independent linearity up to 0.25% Service life over 4 million movements Actuation speed < 2 m/s Operating temperature −30…+60 °C Protection IP55 Power rating up to 2 W Wirewound potentiometer, oil filled and hermetically sealed — for tough applications In this linear potentiometer, displacement is measured using a wire-wound resistive element. The oil-filled, hermetically sealed design reliably protects the sensor against environmental influences. The sensor can handle a power rating of up to 2 W (depending on the stroke). To minimize wiper current and ensure a stable output, operation as a potential divider is recommended for precise measurements. Options Resistance values 100 Ω / 200 Ω / 500 Ω / 1 kΩ / 2 kΩ / 5 kΩ / 10 kΩ / 20 kΩ / 50 kΩ (200 mm only) Resistance tolerance ±5%; option ±3% Solder pins / 2 m round cable / 6 pin connector Enhanced linearity For series production, customer specific versions are available — e.g. pre assembled leads and cables with or without connectors, and special shaft lengths.
