SP3

Low Cost String Pot

User Selectable Output: 4..20 mA or 0..10 Vdc

Absolute Linear Position to 50 inches (1.3 m)
40-inch electrical cable w/ sealed strain relief
Handy Mounting Bracket • Free Release Tolerant

The SP3 from Celesco is a compact, economical stringpot

that provides a user selectable 4-20 mA or 0-10 Vdc output
signal. Simply install this sensor using the handy mounting
bracket and connect the appropriate wires for the desired

3.5” [90 mm]

ouput.

The SP3 is constructed with a rugged, water resistant poly-

carbonate body that has been compactly designed for tight
1” [25 mm] 1.9” [48 mm] spaces and generous measuring cable misalignment. With
4 different ranges, the SP3 is a perfect solution for many ap-
plications from light industrial to OEM. Just like all of our
SPECIFICATIONS
other SP and SE models, the SP3 is in stock ready to ship.
Available Stroke Ranges 4.75, 12.5, 25, 50 inches
