• The PMI-SL transducer, an evolution of the PMI-12,
Life
is designed for all inside cylinder applications which
require a smaller transducer. > 25x106 m strokes, or > 100x106 maneuvers, whichever is less
For this reason, the diameter has been reduced to Electrical connection
12.7 mm. 1 mt 3-pole shielded cable
• The PMI Slim offers the same robustness as the PMI-12: Displacement speed
AISI 316 stainless steel body, IP67 protection level, standard < 5 m/s
and pressure resistance up to 250 bar (400 bar peak)
Max. acceleration
• Available with flanged or threaded heads, to guaran-
tee mechanical compatibility with all main cylinder < 10m/s2 max displacement

blue • Make the specified electrical connections

(DO NOT use the transducer as a variable resistance)
yellow
• When calibrating the transducer, be careful to set the stroke so
that the output does not drop below 1% or rise above 99% of
brown the voltage level.
