PLS Series
Product Description
Square Section Housing
The linear motion potentiometers series PLS have a 31 mm square section housing and 6 mm diameter rod. Their measuring strokes range from 50 to 950 mm, and their standard resistive value is 5 KOhm.
The conductive plastic resistive element grants the transducer a long life (100,000,000 motions), high independent linearity and virtually infinite resolution.
The mounting operations are easy, as potentiometers are fastened by means of the provided brackets, which can be placed freely along the body. Alternatively, ball joints and self-aligning articulated joints can be used for air-fixing, allowing to compensate for mounting mis-alignments.
The potentiometer series PLS can be provided with feeler pin and return spring (for strokes up to 150 mm) for applications as comparator.
Thanks to their high protection degree against environmental agents the potentiometers series PLS are suited for severe applications, even outdoors, at extreme temperatures.
