Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What can be connected to the potentiometric T/TS transducer?
It can be connected to Novotechnik M8 connectors and cables, Novotechnik M16 connectors and cables, and recommended accessories Z-FTI-B01, MUP-080, MUP-410, MUP-110, MUP-160, MUK-350, and MAP-4000.
How do I order the T/TS potentiometric transducer?
The order code has three fields: stroke (mm), linearity, and connection. For example, TS-0050-05-101 (Art. 400107036) is the version with a defined electrical range of 50 mm, linearity ≤ ±0.05% FS, and an M8 connector. Without a connection suffix, T indicates a cable; TS, an M16 connector; and TS-101, an M8 connector. All order references and their corresponding Art. 400107036 are listed in the reference table on this page.
Under what conditions does the potentiometric T/TS transducer operate?
Operating temperature: -30 … +100 °C; -30 … +85 °C (M8 connector). Protection: IP40.
