The PT1 and PT5 series linear position sensors are engineered to deliver precise measurements in factory environments, featuring a broad measurement range from 0 - 2 to 0 - 250 inches. These sensors support a variety of output signals, including voltage divider, 0 - 5 VDC, 0 - 10 VDC, 4 - 20 mA, incremental encoder, CANbus, DeviceNet™, and RS-232, making them adaptable to numerous industrial control systems. With IP65 and IP67 ratings for the PT5 model, they are suitable for use in environments requiring dust and water resistance.
Constructed with durable aluminum and ABS plastic for the PT1 model, these sensors offer accuracy between ±0.04% to ±0.25%, ensuring reliable performance. They are designed to be user-serviceable, which, along with their compact design, especially in the PT1 model, makes them ideal for space-constrained applications. Operating within a temperature range of -40°C to 90°C, the PT1 and PT5 are perfect for a wide range of applications including factory automation, die casting, and injection molding, where precision and durability are critical.
