Overview

The PT8101 potentiometric voltage divider operates with any basic panel meter or programmable controller in factories and harsh environments requiring linear position measurements up to 60."
pt8101 voltage divider

As a member of our innovative line of cable actuated sensors, the PT8101 potentiometric voltage divider string pot installs in minutes by mounting it’s body to a fixed surface and attaching it’s cable to the movable object, works without perfect parallel alignment, and when it’s stainless-steel cable is retracted, it measures only 5”. Cable actuated sensors are simple to install, exceptionally reliable and will fit into areas unsuited for rod-type measurement devices. 

Benefits

  • Absolute Linear Position to 60 inches (1524 mm) 
  • Aluminum or Stainless Steel Enclosure Options 
  • VLS Option to Prevent Free-Release Damage 
  • IP68
  • NEMA 6 Protection
