DURASTAR • RODLESS LINEAR POSITION TRANSDUCER
The DuraStarTM rodless linear position transducer incorporates over fifty years of MystR®
technology into the longest lasting factory-rugged potentiometer. It allows for a large
misalignment of shafts and housing, while providing whisper-quiet operation and smooth, clean
signal output. MystR provides the DuraStar excellent durability, especially in dither life which is
so often the determining factor in a potentiometer’s life. It is the perfect replacement unit to reduce
maintenance operations.
The rodless side-sealed DuraStar can also be used to replace a rodded potentiometer
in contaminated applications. As a replacement unit, it will improve performance while
providing long life.
Intrinsically Safe for Class I, II, and III Division 1, Groups A, B, C, D, E, F and G for Hazardous
(indoor/outdoor) NEMA 4 locations. V max = 30 V, I max = 100 mA, Ci = 0, uF, Li, = 0 mH.
Note: Not all combinations are available. Minimum quantity orders apply. Contact the factory for more details.
* Note: The Electrical Travel correlates to the Total Resistance (Ohms).
