The Scale Shot System in the GT2 Series improves upon the technology of conventional contact sensors and is now concentrated into a pencil-type sensor head.
Specification
IP67G Oil-Resistant Design for Measurement in Machine Processing and Other Oily Environments
The sensor head - including the connector and cable section - are IP67G and NEMA Type 13 compliant. This means that stable measurement is achieved even in harsh environments containing splashing water or oil. In order to improve robustness - a common problem with contact sensors - careful attention was paid to the structure of the sensor body. The design incorporates a high-strength linear ball bearing and a seamless body for additional durability. In addition, the reduced weight of the spindle means minimal wear from friction and significantly improved durability. These design improvements reduce maintenance and equipment downtime.
