Highly accurate and durable linear position sensor in open rail design with measuring lengths of 100–300 mm
Very high resolution, with up to ±0.1% linearity
Service life of over 20 million movements
Actuating force <0.2 N
Resistance values from 2 kΩ to 20 kΩ.
Temperature range −30…+105 °C
Reliable position specifications, with backlash-free coupling and low operating force
The open rail design with slider carriage transfers position to the conductive plastic resistance element with no play. This provides an analogue absolute signal, eliminating the need for additional evaluation electronics. Easy, precise adjustments and long-lasting reliability thanks to low operating force and durable design. To ensure long-term, trouble-free operation, we recommend mounting the sensor axis overhead so that the open rail points downwards. The flat geometry and backlash-free coupling allow for precise adjustment in confined spaces. High linearity and a reliable output signal throughout the service life allow for consistent setpoint specifications with short adjustment strokes.
In the market environment, the combination of a low actuating force, selectable low linearity tolerance, and a long service life in space-critical designs for precise setpoint specifications is impressive.
