Linear potentiometers for hydraulics and pneumatics

September 2005 Pneumatics & Hydraulics

Elcis is offering a series of linear potentiometers. The RPC model has a stainless steel shaft with guides inside the housing, and the RPF model has a slider with ball coupling that reduces the effects of misalignment without introducing play.

The devices use resistive elements made from conductive plastic and are suitable for applications on hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, plastic moulding, packaging, textile machines, etc. They are available in lengths ranging from 50 mm up to 1 m, with infinite resolution, operating temperature between -55 to +125°C. The maximum operating speed is 10 m/s and connection is via 4-pin DIN43650 ISO4400 connector. Produced in accordance with the UNI EN ISO 9001:2000, these devices are of high quality, competitively priced, and Elcis is able to supply for quick delivery.
