13FLP Linear-motion Potentiometer

 

*    Standard resistance values 500 Ω to 20 kΩ

*    Stroke 12 mm to 100 mm

*    Linearity tolerance: standard and precision class  

*    Spring return device optional     

     Front shaft extension

 

 

 

Linear-motion Potentiometers are compact in size, light in weight and are capable of transforming mechanical linear movements into corresponding electrical variations. Easy to operate and handy, they are  suitable for measurement of linear movements in various machinery and tools and displacements in linearly moving objects such as steering angles, numerical control tooling machines, robots, etc. The resistive element in this series is made of conductive plastic (FLP-A) which features high resolution, long life expectancy and excellent high speed tracking ability.

Notes:

1. In case of the potentiometer with special resistance values and special specifications, the above performances may change and therefore, please consult us in advance, separately.

2. As for operating temperature range. we can not guarantee that all values of performances can satisfy within this operating

    temperature range.

3. The above values of performances based on each testing were measured after each testing completed, respectively, under

    standard conditions. As for the values during testing and other values not mentioning in the above table, please ask us separately.
