Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
The analog table lists 2000 and 2500 mm versions with P, U or I outputs. The listed digital version has a 3000 mm range, with an encoder or bus output selected by model suffix.
No. Analog P uses an integral axial CA cable, while U/I use a radial SR connector. Digital connections depend on the output: CR for HTL/TTL, SR for SSI or BH for industrial bus versions.
No. The 3000 mm version specifies 0.087 mm for HTL/TTL and 0.032 mm for SSI or fieldbus. Linearity is specified separately.
No. The 2000 and 2500 mm analog versions specify approximately 8g, while the 3000 mm digital version specifies approximately 7g. Retain the model association.
It has an aluminium housing, −20 to +80°C operating range and IP65 protection. On connector versions, IP65 applies only with the plug mated.
