Analogue output draw-wire sensor
The CD50 String Potentiometer is a versatile and reliable device for measuring linear displacement in a range of industrial applications. This device features a measurement range of 0-1250mm, with a linear output proportional to the position of the internal wiper. The potentiometer is designed for ease of installation and use, with a compact and durable form factor that makes it ideal for use in harsh environments.
The CD50 String Potentiometer is equipped with a stainless steel wire that is attached to the moving object whose displacement needs to be measured. The wire is wound around a spool, which is connected to the internal wiper of the potentiometer. As the wire moves, the wiper changes its position along a resistive element, producing a linear output that is proportional to the position of the wire.
It is designed to withstand harsh operating conditions, with a rugged construction that is resistant to vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures. The device is rated for use in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +80°C, making it suitable for use in a range of industrial and outdoor applications. It has a IP67 option protection rating and a linearity of ±0.1% option of the full-scale output.
Overall, the CD50 String Potentiometer is a reliable and cost-effective solution for measuring linear displacement in a variety of industrial applications. With its robust construction, wide measurement range, and voltage or current output options, this device is an excellent choice for engineers and technicians who need accurate and reliable position measurement in harsh environments.
