Linear Potentiometer CFL

Reliable position specifications, with backlash-free coupling and low operating force

The open rail design with slider carriage transfers position to the conductive plastic resistance element with no play. This provides an analogue absolute signal, eliminating the need for additional evaluation electronics. Easy, precise adjustments and long-lasting reliability thanks to low operating force and durable design. To ensure long-term, trouble-free operation, we recommend mounting the sensor axis overhead so that the open rail points downwards. The flat geometry and backlash-free coupling allow for precise adjustment in confined spaces. High linearity and a reliable output signal throughout the service life allow for consistent setpoint specifications with short adjustment strokes.

In the market environment, the combination of a low actuating force, selectable low linearity tolerance, and a long service life in space-critical designs for precise setpoint specifications is impressive.

Options

• Measuring lengths 100 / 200 / 300 mm
• Independent linearity ±0.5 % / ±0.1 %
• Resistance values 2 kΩ / 5 kΩ / 10 kΩ / 20 kΩ
• Resistance tolerance 20% / 10%

We implement customer-specific solutions for series requirements, such as pre-assembled connection strands and cables with or without plugs, and improved linearity. Special lengths and mechanical end stop on both sides are also available upon request.
