Product Description

The CD050S String Potentiometer is a compact linear displacement sensor that uses a flexible cable to measure distance. This sensor has a measurement range of 0-1250mm (50 inches), making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require precise and accurate linear position sensing in a compact form factor.

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 CD050S String Potentiometer has a has a linearity option of ±0.15% of full scale, ensuring reliable and consistent measurement results. It also has a high resolution of 0.1mm, making it suitable for applications that require fine position control.

This sensor has a compact and robust design, with an aluminium housing that provides protection against environmental factors. It has a IP54 protection rating, making it protected against dust.

The CD50S String Potentiometer is easy to install and use, with a variety of mounting options available. A 1K Ohm Potentiometric element is standard with options of other resistance values by request.

Overall, the CD50S 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, where space is at a premium.
