CDS1210 Linear Potentiometric Displacement Sensor: Draw Wire Potentiometer

Introduction

The CDS1210 is a highly precise linear potentiometer displacement sensor, designed for accurate motion control and position measurement. This sensor is versatile, with applications ranging from industrial automation to various engineering fields. It translates mechanical movement into a resistance value, offering direct ohmic output based on the sensor’s position.

Key Features

Measuring Range

The CDS1210 sensor boasts an impressive measuring range of up to 10000 mm. This extensive range makes it suitable for a wide array of applications requiring long-distance displacement measurements.

Output Signal

The sensor provides three standard output resistance values:

• 1kΩ
• 5kΩ
• 10kΩ

These outputs allow for integration with various control systems and measurement devices, ensuring compatibility with existing equipment.

Linearity and Resolution

The CDS1210 ensures high accuracy with a standard linearity of +/- 0.15%. For applications requiring even greater precision, an optional linearity of +/- 0.10% is available. The sensor’s resolution is described as quasi-infinite, which depends on the precision of the measuring device used in conjunction with the potentiometer. This characteristic ensures that even the smallest movements are accurately captured and translated into a measurable resistance change.
