2 companies list this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The typical measurement range is 0 to 1000 mm, but longer ranges are available on request. Always confirm the exact range for your specific model with the manufacturer.
Output signals can be analog (4-20 mA or 0-10 V DC) or digital (SSI or CANopen). Ensure compatibility with your control system.
The standard operating temperature range is -20 to +85 °C, with an optional extended range of -40 to +105 °C. Verify the limits for your application.
Protection classes range from IP54 to IP67 per IEC 60529, suitable for dusty or washdown environments. Confirm the required IP rating for your installation.
