MP600 Position Sensors M8 - M12-2

Ordering Information MP6 Housing 0: 2: Series MP600 The MP600 mechanical sensor represents a new way to accurately detect positions. With its unique patented mechanism it can very precisely detect 2 locations. The distance between the 2 positions is easily customisable and varies between 0.3mm and 1.5mm with a precision better than 5µm. This feature allows to control 2 parameters within a device or process. For example you may detect the air gap of a brake with the first contact and the wear out of the break pad with the 2nd. In other applications the MP600 could indicate if a movement is inside...
