The CLP13 series displacement sensors from MEGATRON are highly precise, robust and require very little installation space. For applications where space is limited, these features make the linear potentiometers the ideal displacement sensor. The CLP13 linear potentiometers are available in measuring lengths of 13mm, 25mm, 50mm and 100mm. The linear potentiometers have a conductive plastic resistive element at their core, providing almost infinite resolution. The output signal is instantly available. There is no delay in response time due to the analogue measurement. This makes the linear potentiometers ideal for precise displacement measurement in medical, automation, robotics and automotive applications.
MEGATRON also offers the linear potentiometers in a spring return version. When the external influence or movement is removed, this version always returns to its original position. The version with an additional probe tip enables reliable and reproducible displacement and position measurement in suitable applications. Both the CLP13 and CLPR13 use a single guided plunger to mechanically detect linear motion. This design also makes the transducer suitable for applications where space is limited.
Long product life
Another advantage of the CLP13 is its very long life: the linear potentiometers are manufactured using Comolded conductive plastic technology and can therefore withstand up to 40 million axis movements (CLPR13: up to 20 million). The signal from the displacement sensors is available immediately after switching on/off, as they do not require any electronic signal conversion. The sensors are EMC immune and temperature stable (operating temperature -30 to +105°C).
MEGATRON is able to customize the displacement sensors for customers on request: It is possible to customize cables or connectors, or to modify the push rod in terms of thread, length and flattening. Adaptation of the probe tip and special axis lengths are also possible on request.
