January 17, 2012 - Celesco Transducer Products iintroduces the SG1 stringpot that has a 10K-ohm potentiometer that provides a voltage divider output signal proportional to the position of the spring loaded measuring cable. The SG1 has a stroke range of 80 inches and can be easily installed using the handy mounting bracket. The SG1 is constructed with a rugged polycarbonate body, a precision high-cycle plastic hybrid potentiometer and a durable spring-loaded stainless steel measuring cable. The SG1 has been designed for tight spaces, complete with a generous measuring cable misalignment and free release tolerance. Its measuring cable provides an accurate reliable position feedback signal over the entire stroke.
Available electrical connection options include the M12 connector, a 40-inch pigtail or solder terminals directly on the SG1 pot. To withstand wet IP67 environments, the M12 connector and pigtail options provide a rugged O-ring sealed cover to protect the potentiometer against the elements. Additionally the M12 connector option comes with a field installable mating plug and an optional 13-ft. cord-set is available. The SG1 can be customized for OEMs.
Such possibilities include a choice of connectors, custom designed mounting hardware and even a choice of potentiometers or other output signals. It is an ideal stringpot for customers searching for a low cost sensor for their application.
Other key applications and benefits of the SG1 include:
- Low cost, in stock and available for immediate delivery
- Stroke range of 80 inches (2,032 mm)
- .35% Linearity
- Operating temperature of 0 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit
- IP67 environmental protection (M12 and electrical cable option)
- 10K ohm, plastic-hybrid precision potentiometer sensing element
- 9 oz. (2,5 N) measuring cable tension
- Electrical connection via solder terminals, 40-inch electrical cable or M12 connector
- Handy mounting bracket that lets the user mount the sensor in just about any direction.
