Long Stroke Linear Displacement Sensor 75-1250mm with Potentiometer Output

Product Overview

JW-KTC(S01) Linear Displacement Sensor with 75-1250mm measuring range is designed for long stroke position measurement and continuous displacement feedback in industrial applications.

Unlike compact displacement sensors designed for short movement ranges, this potentiometer-based linear displacement sensor is optimized for applications requiring larger travel distance and stable position measurement.

The sensor converts mechanical movement into a proportional electrical signal through a precision potentiometer element.

Typical applications include:

• Industrial machinery
• Hydraulic cylinder position measurement
• Automation equipment
• Testing systems
• Motion control equipment
• Mechanical positioning systems

The sensor supports:

• Resistance output
• Potentiometer output
• Analog signal conversion options depending on configuration

JW-IoT provides a complete displacement measurement product range:

• Mini linear displacement sensors
• Linear position sensors
• Long stroke displacement sensors
• Draw wire displacement sensors

What Is a Linear Displacement Sensor?

A linear displacement sensor measures the movement distance of a mechanical object along a straight line.

The sensor is mechanically connected between a fixed point and a moving component.

When the component moves, the sensing element changes its electrical output according to the displacement position.

Controller / Measurement System

Linear displacement sensors are commonly used when continuous position feedback is required instead of simple end-position detection.

How Does a Potentiometer Linear Displacement Sensor Work?

Potentiometer Measurement Principle

A potentiometer displacement sensor uses a resistive element and sliding contact mechanism.

When the measuring rod moves:

1. The slider position changes
2. Resistance value changes
3. Electrical output changes proportionally
4. The controller calculates displacement position

This simple measurement principle provides:

• Stable output
• Good repeatability
• Easy integration
• Long service life
