Introducing the IP69K Linear Position Transducer

Fortunately, Balluff has a solution for demanding linear position feedback applications. The new Micropulse® ProCompact linear position transducer is rugged, accurate, and protected against environmental hazards. The Micropulse ProCompact rod-style transducer incorporates field-proven, non-contact magnetostrictive technology into welded, hermetically-sealed stainless steel housing providing superior long-term reliability and service life compared to competing contact-based sensors such as linear or rotary potentiometers.The ProCompact is ideal for the following types of applications: hydropower and other wet applications, railroad maintenance equipment, steel production, sawmill applications, or any other application involving high humidity, ambient temperature variations, and high pressure wash down.The Micropulse ProCompact linear position transducer comes in a standard 3/4”-16 UNF (optional M18 x 1.5) mounting threads to allowing for the transducer to be installed into hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. Right out of the box, the ProCompact is environmentally protected to IP68. For even more demanding applications, the threaded fitting on the ProCompact housing can accommodate a cable protection system, offering environmental protection up to IP69K making the Micropulse Procompact the ideal solution in harsh applications.  For further information, visit  www.balluff.com/procompact.
