Self-Recovery Linear Position Sensor
Products
The KTR spring-loaded self-restoring electronic ruler is available in a variety of styles, most commonly in the direct-connect version. The KTR series offers an effective travel of 10mm to 200mm, a 3mm buffer stroke, and an accuracy of 0.3% to 0.1% FS. It features a built-in conductive plastic measuring cell with automatic electrical grounding. It has an IP67 rating and is available with either a direct-connect or five-pin plug/socket output. The push rod requires no installation or alignment, has a push angle of 90±3°, and a maximum allowable push speed of 3m/s.

Application
The KTR series of spring-loaded electronic rulers features an automatic return mechanism and optional pulley and induction contacts, making them suitable for measuring even in applications with high recoil forces. Its wear resistance makes it a popular choice for customers with specialized measurement requirements. It is particularly well-suited for applications with limited space and difficult installation, such as blow molding machines, IT equipment, tension control, high-speed automatic feeders, speed control, printing machinery, and paper packaging machinery.
