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."
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.
