The PT8CN, using a high cycle plastic hybrid potentiometer, communicates to your PLC via the CANbus SAE J1939 interface. Suitable for factory and harsh environment applications requiring linear position feedback in ranges up to 60”. As a member of our innovative family of NEMA 4 rated cable actuated sensors, the PT8CN installs in minutes by simply mounting its body to a fixed surface and attaching its cable to the movable object. Perfect parallel alignment not required.
