RK-4 Contactless magnetostrictive linear position transducer with threaded head
Description
Contactless linear position transducer featuring magnetostrictive technology. The absence of electrical contact on the cursor eliminates wear, ensuring nearly unlimited transducer life.
Its compact head with threaded shape and reduced dead zones makes the RK-4 series ideal for applications requiring partial installation inside a hydraulic cylinder, providing a simpler alternative to the IK4 series models.
The sensor’s overall dimensions rank among the smallest available on the market.
For interface signals, choose between a Start/Stop interface (supporting multiple cursors) or an analog interface providing single-cursor displacement in various voltage or current ranges.
The transducer also offers excellent linearity, repeatability, and high resistance to mechanical vibrations and shocks.
