RECTILINEAR DISPLACEMENT TRANSDUCER WITH 
CYLINDRICAL CASE

Principal characteristics

• The transducer is designed to satisfy extreme applicative

demands in terms of mechanical strength.
• The 10 mm diameter rod, large steel joints, and rein-
forced structure make this series mechanically ideal for
metalworking, woodworking, and ceramics.
• Installation is simplified by the lack of electrical signal
variation at output outside theoretical electrical stroke.
• The structure based on self-aligning and weight-bearing
ball joints permits assembly with free movement of the
transducer axle.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Respect the indicated electrical connections (DO NOT use the transducer as a variable resistance)
• When calibrating the transducer, be careful to set the stroke so that the output does not drop below 1% or rise beyond 99% of the
supply voltage.
