Product Description

The CDS1840 String Potentiometer is a linear position sensor that is designed to measure displacement up to a maximum of 40000mm. The device features a stainless steel wire that is attached to the moving object whose position 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 an analog output signal that is proportional to the position of the wire.

The potentiometer has a compact and durable aluminum housing that is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. The device is easy to install, with a choice of mounting options that include bracket and flange mounting.

The CDS1840 String Potentiometer produces an analog output signal that is proportional to the position of the wire. The device has a maximum output voltage of 10V and a linearity option of ±0.10% of the full-scale output. The potentiometer is also equipped with a temperature drift of ±100 ppm/°C, which ensures that the output signal remains stable even in fluctuating temperature conditions.

The device is resistant to shock and vibration, which makes it suitable for use in applications that involve movement or other dynamic forces. The potentiometer has a rated temperature range of -20°C to +80°C, which ensures that it can be used in a wide range of industrial and outdoor environments.

Overall, the CDS1840 String Potentiometer is a reliable and versatile linear position sensor that is suitable for a range of industrial applications. The device's compact and durable form factor, analog output signal, and resistance to shock and vibration make it an excellent choice for engineers and technicians who need accurate and reliable displacement measurement in harsh environments.
