Description
The MK120 compact long range draw wire displacement sensor is small, low cost and has a measuring range of 0-2300mm, 0-3500mm and 0-5000mm. They are low cost and customer specific designs makes it ideal for high volume OEM applications. They feature a robust plastic housing and a very compact design, enabling it to fit into the smallest of spaces.
The MK120 compact long range draw wire displacement sensor is analogue only with a non-linearity better than ±0.15% of the full scale output.
For a compact yet small measuring range try the MK30 low range draw wire displacement sensor.
