Potentiometer output draw-wire sensor
The CD30 String Potentiometer is a linear displacement sensor that uses a flexible cable to measure distance. This sensor has a measurement range of 0-150mm, 0-250mm or 0-500mm.
The sensor works by converting the linear motion of the cable into an electrical signal using a potentiometric output. The cable is attached to a spring-loaded spool that rotates as the cable is pulled, changing the position of a wiper along a resistive element. This change in position creates a voltage output that is proportional to the distance travelled by the cable.
The CD30 String Potentiometer has linearity options of ±0.15% or ±0.25% of full scale, ensuring reliable and consistent measurement results. It has a high resolution of 0.1mm, making it suitable for applications that require fine position control with options of 1K ohms or 10K ohms potentiometric resistance values.
Available with mounting options of screw-mounting, flange mounting or with a convenient mounting bracket and a lug draw wire connection.
Overall, the CD30 String Potentiometer is a reliable and accurate linear displacement sensor that is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, such as robotics, automation, and machine control.
