Technical Frequently Asked Questions

What sensors are linear sensor couplings used with?

They are used with FTI (inductive position transducer with return), LS1 (inductive non-contact position transducer), LWG (potentiometric stem transducer with ball joints), LWH (linear potentiometric stem transducer), LWX-003 (IP67 potentiometric transducer with ball joints), LWX-004 (IP67 potentiometric transducer, protected stem), TE1 (potentiometric transducer with analog output), TEX (potentiometric transducer with stem), TLH (potentiometric transducer without stem), TP1 (linear magnetostrictive profile transducer (analog, CANopen, pulse, incremental, IO-Link, SSI)), TR/TRS (potentiometric transducer with elastic return) and TX2 (potentiometric transducer with mounting clamps).

What types of couplings are there for linear sensors?

These types are available: articulated coupling (Z-301), roller head (Z-R50), rod end (Z-G02), external threaded rod end (Z-G_ _) and stainless steel rod end kit (ZG-03 and ZG-04).

How do I order couplings for linear sensors?

For example, Z-301-M6/M6 (Art. 400058001): articulated coupling, M6 / M6 (int.), metal with rubber bushing. All order references with their corresponding Art. are listed in the reference table on this page.
