Linear position sensor PL231

potentiometerresistancewith potentiometric output

The linear motion potentiometers series PL231 have a 31 mm square section housing, 8 mm diameter shaft and two fixing ball joints at the ends. Their measuring strokes range from 50 to 750 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. Thanks to their high protection degree against environmental agents the potentiometers series PL231 are suited for severe applications, even outdoors, at extreme temperatures.
