The Novotechnik IP6000 Series Rotary Shaft Type is an industrial-grade rotary displacement potentiometer with outstanding precision, long service life, and strong environmental adaptability. It is well-suited for harsh industrial scenarios requiring high-precision angle measurement. Here is a detailed overview based on official and authorized distributor data:
Exceptional linearity and repeatability: It has a standard linearity of ±0.075% full scale, and can be customized to an ultra-high precision of ±0.025% to meet strict measurement requirements. The repeatability reaches 0.007°, ensuring stable and consistent data output during repeated angle detection. Infinitesimal resolution: The sensor adopts conductive plastic resistance elements and precious metal multi-finger wipers, which enables it to capture tiny angle changes infinitely, far exceeding the needs of general industrial angle measurement.
Structure and durability: The housing is made of sturdy die-cast waterproof material, and the rotary shaft is stainless steel. It is equipped with stainless steel ball bearings, which can withstand axial and radial loads up to 45N. Its mechanical service life is as long as 100 million movements, and it supports continuous mechanical rotation, adapting to high-frequency operation conditions. Rotational performance: The maximum operating speed can reach 2000 rpm, and the starting torque is less than 1.5 Ncm. The low-torque design reduces the resistance during shaft rotation, and the high rotational speed meets the requirements of high-speed equipment angle detection. The common mechanical measurement range is 355°, which covers most industrial angle measurement scenarios.
Voltage and signal: It supports an excitation voltage of 0 - 42 VDC, and the output signal is a potentiometric signal ranging from 0 to the supply voltage, which is compatible with most industrial control systems. Additionally, it is equipped with reverse voltage protection through an internal diode to prevent component damage caused by incorrect wiring. Stable operation: The current consumption performance is excellent, and the overall electrical performance is stable, which can avoid signal drift caused by voltage fluctuations during long-term operation.
Strong environmental adaptability: It has an IP65 protection rating. The shaft passage is sealed, and the waterproof and dustproof design allows it to work stably in harsh industrial environments. It can operate normally in the temperature range of -40°C to 100°C, adapting to extreme cold and high-temperature working conditions. Convenient installation: It can be installed with 3 clamps, and adopts a connector-type connection method, which simplifies the installation and disassembly process. Manufacturers also accept customization of special measuring ranges and shaft dimensions to meet the personalized needs of different application scenarios.
