The KL Series are linear rod type position transducers designed for space-constrained measuring applications, with a housing width of 13 mm. They feature a conductive plastic resistance element, a precious metal multi-finger wiper, and a 1 m PUR cable for electrical connections. The series supports travel distances of 10 to 100 mm, with resistance values of 1 kΩ or 5 kΩ, a resistance tolerance of ±20%, and independent linearity up to ±0.25%. Repeatability is 0.05 mm, and maximum wiper current is limited to 1 µA under normal operation. The devices operate from -25°C to +75°C, withstand 10 × 10⁶ movements, and meet IP65 protection. Radial shaft loading is limited to 1 N, with a maximum actuating force of 3 N and a speed limit of 0.1 m/s. Mounted via two M2 screws, weights range from 19 to 42 g depending on stroke length.
Novotechnik linear rod type position sensors are available in stroke lengths from 10 to 900 mm. They have high tolerance to adverse environmental conditions and provide long operating life, with various features, to meet the requirements of most any position sensor application.
