Potentiometric displacement transducer RP13

Product catalog summary
Overview: The RP13 series of Linear Displacement Transducers are precision instruments designed for measuring linear displacement with high accuracy and reliability. They are available in various measuring strokes ranging from 25 mm to 300 mm.
Construction: The transducers feature a cylindrical case made of anodised aluminium and a shaft constructed from stainless steel. They incorporate conductive plastic resistance elements and precious-metal wipers. Options include axial connectors or radial leads, ball joints at the shaft end or case, and a spring return mechanism.
Mechanical Specifications:
  • Maximum operating speed: 10 m/s
  • Maximum acceleration: 20 m/s²
  • Operating force: less than 2 N
Electrical Specifications:
  • Linearity: Ranges from ±0.1% to ±0.05%
  • Maximum wiper current: 1 mA
  • Recommended wiper current: less than 0.1 μA
  • Insulation resistance: 100 MOhm
  • Resistance tolerance: ±20%
  • Dielectric strength: 500 VAC at 50 Hz
  • Repeatability: ±0.01 mm
  • Life expectancy: Up to 100 million cycles
  • Protection grade: IP65
Environmental Specifications:
  • Operating temperature range: -30°C to +100°C
  • Storage temperature range: -50°C to +120°C
  • Temperature coefficient: Less than 1.5 ppm/°C
  • Resistance to vibration: 20 g (5 to 2000 Hz)
  • Resistance to shock: 50 g (11 ms)
Accessories and Options: Various counter plugs are available, including straight and angled options in both plastic and metal. Mounting clamps must be ordered separately.
Ordering Information: The order code format includes the model, measuring stroke, electrical and mechanical variants, and electrical connections. Options for ball joints and spring return are available for specific configurations.
Installation Notes: The shaft entry is protected by an O-ring sealing and a guide sleeve. Proper alignment is crucial to avoid misalignment issues.
