Protective Housing / Rod: Load Capacity Up to 50 N

Component Specifications

Definition

A protective housing and rod assembly is a critical component of position transducers, designed to shield sensitive internal elements from environmental contaminants, mechanical impacts, and electromagnetic interference. The housing typically encases the transducer body, while the rod connects to the moving part being measured, ensuring precise linear or angular position detection in industrial applications.

Working Principle

The protective housing isolates the transducer from external factors like dust, moisture, and vibration, while the rod transmits mechanical motion from the target object to the transducer's sensing mechanism, enabling accurate position measurement without signal degradation.

Materials

Housing: Aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6) or stainless steel (e.g., 304/316) for corrosion resistance; Rod: Hardened steel (e.g., AISI 4140) or stainless steel, with optional coatings like chrome plating for wear resistance.
