Position indicators indicate the distance
travelled by linear units. They are mounted to the
spindle journal of a linear unit using an adapter
bushing and a grub screw.
The counter of the position indicator should be
selected from the table based on the spindle
thread pitch and direction and the size of the
linear unit. Other options, such as installation
orientation or housing color, can be defined in
the article number.
The polyamide housing is ultrasonically welded,
making it especially sturdy, tight and compact.
The position indicator is also temperature-resistant
to 80 °C and resistant to oils and solvents.
The foam rubber seal provides mechanical
decoupling and also acts as a seal. The hollow shaft
is made of black oxide-finished steel.
If the position indicator is attached to a single tube
linear unit, a torque support VZDR or VZDV is
required to prevent the position indicator from
turning along. For double tube linear units, a torque
support VZDD is required only for diameter 18.
As an alternative to the mechanical indicator system,
a position indicator VZPE can also be used, which
detects and displays the position electronically.
