IP-6000 Industrial Rotary Potentiometer
- Manufacturer: Novotechnik
- Category: Displacement, Angular displacement sensor, SENSORS
Novotechnik IP-6000 industrial rotary potentiometer. Conductive plastic potentiometer with anodized aluminum housing and stainless steel shaft.
Conductive plastic rotary potentiometer with voltage divider output. Ø 55 mm. Electrical range 355° (IP-6501-A502) or 90° (IP-6501-G252), continuous rotation. Independent linearity ≤ ±0.075 % FS (A502), repeatability ≤ ±0.007°. IP65 protection with EEM-33-70 connector.
If the supply voltage is applied through connection 5, a protective resistor prevents a short circuit between the cursor and the power supply. Connection 2 is the unprotected signal output, and connection 5 is the protected signal output.
