About the SP Series Draw-Wire Sensors

This compact stringpot with “voltage divider” output, provides ease-of-use and flexibility for measurement ranges up to 50 inches. Made of rugged polycarbonate, the SP1 fits in small spaces, doesn’t need perfect alignment and ships with a stainless steel mounting bracket to let the user easily orient this sensor in just about any direction imaginable.

The SP1 is available with a connector, mating plug and sensor cover to protect against IP67 (wet) environments and a lower cost, “open” sensor version priced for both the budget conscious single piece user and the OEM alike.
