Linear Motion Position-Measuring Transmitters
Measure the position of an object moving in a straight line. Also known as string pots, these transmitters have an extendable wire cable that measures the relative distance between two points. They convert measurements to an electrical signal for use in controlling system automation.
All are IP rated for some protection from dust. IP67-rated transmitters also seal out water when briefly submersed.

Magnetic Position-Measuring Transmitters
Nano
M8 Plug
Micro
M12 Plug
Continuously monitor your air cylinder rod’s position and turn the cylinder on and off with a single component. These transmitters send positioning data to computers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). They're often integrated into automated systems for tasks such as timing when certain steps of your process should take place and verifying dimensions for quality control. Rated IP67, these transmitters withstand temporary submersion.
Press the buttons on the switch to toggle between voltage and current outputs. These transmitters have a plug that connects to cables with a socket (not included) so you can quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

Photoelectric Distance-Measuring Transmitters
Nano
M8 Plug
In a single device, continuously monitor the distance of items and turn equipment on and off based on their position. They're photoelectric sensors—a light beam detects subtle changes at high speeds, like dents in cans on a bottling line. These transmitters send readings with IO link to a programmable logic controller (PLC), a human-machine interface (HMI), or a computer. Stall circuits on or off after they sense an object using the time delay function. All are rated IP67 and IP69K for protection from dust, temporary submersion, and high-pressure washdowns.
Transmitters with a plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), so you can quickly connect and disconnect the transmitter.
