The signals provided by the potentiometer are digitized by the VT-Electronics. This digital information is first processed by the electronics, then transformed back and given out as an analogue output signal 0 to 10 V or 0 to 5 V. The digitization offers two possibilities of adjustment, by which the sensor can be configured individually using the squeezer: 1) Teaching of the measurement range. After a successful teaching process the squeezer can be pulled off the sensor and be replaced by a standard cable or connector. 2) Setting an individual switching point. The squeezer allows the...

HINTS Rotary transducers with 1 Turn Potentiometer Schematic diagram of the sliding track (view on shaft) This type of Potentiometer is used to measure angles smaller than 360°. The sliding track has a circular shape. A certain segment of the sliding track is non-conducting. This way the beginning and the end of the measurement range is defined. With view on shaft the signal increases when the shaft is turned counter clock wise. The output signal drops to zero as soon as the cursor reaches the non-conducting part of the sliding track. If turned further, the signal starts to increase again...

ACCESSORIES Cable with connector M12, 4 poles, shielded Mating Connector M12, 4 poles, shielded, IP67 straight, M12 for self assembly angular, M12 for self assembly cable colour cable colour Couplings Bellows couplings are used for the free of backlash connection between an encoder and a shaft. The couplings are free of wear and compensate lateral, axial and angular shaft misalignment. The mounting on the shaft is done by clamping hubs. Digital display - PAXD ( for Potentiometer) Use the PAXD display to visualise the measured distance of the position transducer with a potentiometer as...
