Overview
The VLS8000 velocity limiting system (VLS) is an option available for our PT8101, PT8150, PT8420 and PT8510 cable extension transducers to limit cable retraction speeds to a safe 40 to 55 inches per second.
The VLS option prevents the measuring cable from ever reaching a damaging velocity during an accidental free release. This option is ideal for applications that require frequent cable disconnection and reconnection. It prevents expensive unscheduled downtime due to accidental cable mishandling or attachment failure. The 4 guides below define the PT8000 datasheets which support VLS as a Standard Option with quick delivery. Please contact us for availability of datasheets or options not shown.
Benefits
- Prevents cable from ever reaching damaging velocity during a free-release.
