Itu JW-KPM(S06) KPM Linear Position Sensor is a rod-type industrial displacement transducer designed to measure linear movement and provide continuous position feedback.
With measuring strokes from 25 mm to 300 mm, the sensor uses a conductive plastic resistance element to convert mechanical movement into a proportional electrical signal.
Unlike compact linear potentiometers designed mainly for restricted mounting spaces, the KPM series features rod-end bearings at both ends, allowing suitable mechanical connections where moderate angular movement or alignment variation may occur.
The sensor is particularly relevant to:
Prestressed jack displacement measurement
Bridge and structural movement monitoring
Shock absorber and suspension testing
Ceramic manufacturing equipment
Industrial actuator position feedback
Sistem pengujian mekanis
The KPM series is intended for applications where reliable mechanical coupling and continuous linear displacement measurement are required.
2. How Does a KPM Linear Position Sensor Work?
The JW-KPM(S06) uses a conductive plastic potentiometric sensing element.
As the connected mechanical component moves, the sensor rod follows the displacement.
The internal sliding contact changes position along the resistance element, producing a position-related electrical signal.
Proses pengukuran:
Mechanical Movement → Rod Displacement → Resistance Change → Signal Conditioning → PLC / Data Acquisition System
The sensor measures the relative movement between its two mechanical connection points.
Unlike a non-contact laser or ultrasonic distance sensor, the KPM requires direct mechanical linkage with the moving structure.
Benefits of Rod-End Bearings
The rod-end bearing design helps accommodate angular movement between connected components.
This mechanical arrangement can be useful in testing equipment, hydraulic mechanisms and structural displacement measurement.
The specified ±12.5° angular accommodation does not eliminate the need to avoid excessive side loads, overtravel or unsuitable installation geometry.

Aplikasi Umum
Testing and structural movement
Compact machinery and automation
Choose the KPM series where mechanical linkage design and angular movement accommodation are important.
Prestressed jack testing requires measurement of mechanical extension during controlled loading operations.
A rod-end linear position sensor can be used to measure jack extension when the mounting arrangement and required measuring stroke are compatible.
The rod-end joints help accommodate appropriate angular movement within the mechanical linkage.
5.2 Bridge and Structural Movement Monitoring
Structural inspection and testing may require measurement of relative displacement between two mechanical points.
Potential measurement applications include:
Bridge expansion joint movement
Structural relative displacement
Mechanical joint movement
Controlled structural load testing
The KPM sensor can provide displacement feedback where its environmental protection, mounting arrangement and measurement performance meet project requirements.
Long-term outdoor deployment may require additional environmental protection.
Mechanical connection: Rod-end dimensions and installation geometry.
Motion conditions: Expected operating speed, vibration and angular movement.
Sinyal keluaran: Resistance, voltage or current.
Lingkungan pengoperasian: Temperature, moisture, dust and mechanical exposure.
Dimensi pemasangan: Available body length and extension clearance.
JW-IoT can assist with configuration selection based on project requirements.
