Linear potentiometers

Product catalog summary
Company Overview
ELAP, established in 1968, is a leader in industrial automation, specializing in position sensors and control equipment. The company offers a wide range of position transducers and counting/control equipment, serving various industrial sectors such as sheet working, glass, wood, paper, plastic, textile, and food processing. ELAP is the sole distributor for several companies in Italy and participates in international technology communities.

Linear Potentiometers
Linear potentiometers by ELAP are designed for measuring and controlling linear displacements in absolute mode. They are available in various mechanical sizes and strokes (25 to 950 mm) to meet diverse application requirements. Key features include high accuracy, repeatability, speed, and resistance to shocks and vibrations. The conductive plastic resistive element ensures long life and high linearity. Standard resistive value is 5 KOhm, with an optional 10 KOhm. Mounting is facilitated by steel brackets, ball joints, or screw nuts, and the potentiometers are housed in sturdy aluminum for environmental protection.

Product Specifications
  • Heavy Duty Models: PLS, PL2S, PL231 with strokes from 50 to 950 mm, IP65 protection, and operating temperature of -20 to 80°C.
  • Small Size Models: PM, PM2S with strokes from 25 to 150 mm, IP64 protection, and similar operating temperature.
  • Round Section Models: PR, PR2S with similar specifications to small size models.

Fittings and Connections
Potentiometers can be fitted with ball joints, self-aligning joints, feeler pins, and return springs. Connections are made via 4-pin male connectors, with options for M12 connectors.

Programmable Transmitter OMX380iDU
The OMX380iDU transmitter can be paired with potentiometers for analog output signals, offering high accuracy and stability. It supports input from linear potentiometers with resistance ranging from 500 Ohm to 100 KOhm and provides programmable analog output with a maximum resolution of 16 bits.

Sales Network
ELAP has a global sales network with distributors worldwide. For more information, visit their website at www.elap.it.
