GSF Wire position transducer (wire potentiometer)

GSF

Overview

  • Linear transducer with wire potentiometer technology.
  • Excellent repeatability, high IP rating, resistance to shock and vibrations, and high electromagnetic compatibility make this transducer suitable for mobile hydraulic applications.
  • Developed to guarantee a robust, high-performance solution for applications such as agricultural vehicles, earth-moving machines, and hoisting equipment.
