The SP1 string pot is compact, economical and a durable device that is extremely easy to install and has four measurement ranges.
Celesco Transducers' new SP1 string pot is available from Variohm EuroSensors.
The SP1 is compact, economical and a durable device that is extremely easy to install and has four measurement ranges: 4.75, 12.5, 25 and 50in.
It is also resistant to "free release" of the cable without damage, a significant benefit critical to many applications.
Designed for restricted space installations, the SP1 includes a handy mounting bracket that allows the cable exit to be selected from four 90-degree offset positions, making it ideal for light industrial and many OEM applications.
Users will benefit from the fact that this device has been designed for misalignment situations wherein the cable may be pulled out and cycled at up to 45-degree angles without compromising life.
Distinctive features of the SP1 include a polycarbonate enclosure, an operating temperature range of -40 to +93C, a vibration specification of up to 10g to 2000Hz maximum, and a voltage divider output signal.
Electrical specifications include an input resistance of 10kohm (+/-10%), a power rating of 2.0W at 20C and a maximum recommended input voltage of 30V (AC or DC).
