Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
MPW is rated IP67, compared with IP65 for MP. Preserve the family suffix and model-specific ingress rating even when a shared manufacturer family photo is used.
No. The MP/MPW table lists 0.15 mm at 100 mm range and 0.2 mm at 300 mm range. At 500 and 1000 mm it describes effectively continuous hybrid-potentiometer resolution. This does not establish the accuracy or resolution of an external DAQ chain.
The shared table specifies approximately 30g for MP and MPW. Higher MPW ingress protection does not establish a higher acceleration limit.
No. The 100, 300 and 500–1000 mm ranges specify ±0.5%, ±0.25% and ±0.1% FSO respectively. Preserve the range association.
It specifies an M4 threaded wire end, a rotatable mounting flange and a 1 m integral axial cable. Plan installation from the selected range drawing.
