Potentiometer output draw-wire sensor
The CD60.01 String Potentiometer is a linear displacement sensor that uses a flexible cable to measure distance. This sensor has a measurement range of 0-1500mm (60 inches), making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require precise and accurate linear position sensing over a long distance.
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 traveled by the cable.
The CD60.01 String Potentiometer has a linearity of ±0.15% of full scale, ensuring reliable and consistent measurement results.
This sensor has a rugged and durable design, with an aluminium housing that provides protection against environmental factors such as dust, water, and vibration.
The CD60.01 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.
In addition to its standard features, the CD60.01 String Potentiometer also has a built-in temperature sensor that compensates for temperature variations to provide accurate and reliable measurements in varying environmental conditions. It also has a long cable life, with a rating of up to 3 million cycles.
Overall, the CD60.01 String Potentiometer is a reliable and accurate linear displacement sensor that is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, such as aerospace, automotive, and construction, where precise and long-distance position sensing is required in varying environmental conditions.
