Plastic
Material push rod
Stainless steel
Connection type Soldering pins
The CLP13 / CLPR13 series is used in applications
where a displacement sensor with space saving design
is required.
Linear potentiometer (conductive plastic) with almost
innite resolution
Measuring lengths from 13 mm to 100 mm
Compact dimensions
Long lifespan (up to 40 million movements)
With and without spring return
The compact displacement sensor has an excellent lifetime
due to the Comolded conductive plastic technology. The
front guided push rod allows use in applications with limited
overall length. The spring return opens up additional elds
of application.
