Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What can be connected to the TR/TRS potentiometric transducer?
It can be connected to Novotechnik M8 connectors and cables, Novotechnik M16 connectors and cables, Novotechnik linear sensor couplings and fittings, and recommended accessories MUP-080, MUP-410, MUP-110, MUP-160, MUK-350, and MAP-4000.
How do I order the TR/TRS potentiometric transducer?
The order code has three fields: stroke (mm), linearity, and connection. For example, TRS-0050-05-101 (Art. 400107049) is the version with a defined electrical range of 50 mm, linearity ≤ ±0.05 % FS, and an M8 connector. Without a connection suffix, TR indicates a cable; TRS, an M16 connector; TRS … -101, an M8 connector. All order references with their corresponding Art. 400107049 are listed in the reference table on this page.
Under what conditions does the TR/TRS potentiometric transducer operate?
Operating temperature: -30 … +100 °C; -30 … +85 °C (M8 connector). Protection: IP40.
