JW-KTF(S03) KTF slider linear displacement sensor is designed for direct absolute position measurement in industrial machinery where compact installation length and long stroke feedback are required. With a conductive plastic resistance element, smooth analog output, adjustable mounting feet, durable anodized aluminum housing, and slider driven structure, it is suitable for injection molding machines, rubber machinery, hydraulic equipment, woodworking machinery, and automated production systems.
2. Product Overview
JW-KTF(S03)KTF slider linear displacement sensor is a practical position feedback solution for industrial machinery requiring long stroke measurement and compact installation. Unlike rod type displacement sensors, the slider structure allows the sensor to be driven from one side, helping reduce the required installation length in the machine direction. This makes it especially suitable for large machinery where space is limited but long measuring travel is needed.
The sensor uses a conductive plastic resistance element to provide smooth and stable analog output. It supports direct absolute position measurement, allowing PLCs, controllers, and data acquisition systems to obtain real time linear position feedback. Its infinite resolution and good linearity make it suitable for precision stroke monitoring, position control, and motion feedback applications.
The KTF sensor features an anodized aluminum housing for corrosion resistance and long term durability. Adjustable mounting feet allow flexible installation, while the optional rod end joint helps reduce side load caused by mechanical misalignment. The product is designed for demanding applications such as large injection molding machine clamping stroke measurement, rubber machine stroke monitoring, woodworking machinery, hydraulic equipment, shoe machinery, and customized automation systems.
