DWP-SP / Compact displacement / US & metric strokes

Compact String Potentiometers & Wire Pots

Specify a compact cable potentiometer for suspension travel, pedal movement and short-stroke test fixtures.

Cable extension turns a spring-return drum coupled to a potentiometer or encoder. — Measurement principle · concept illustration

STROKE × SIGNAL × LINEARITY

Selection envelopes · model-specific confirmation required
Model	Measuring stroke / mm & inch	Linearity target	Signal output	Wire rope option	Comparison reference
DWP-SP	50–1,270 mm 1.969–50.000 in	±0.15% FS target	5 kΩ / 10 kΩ divider · analog transmitter options	Ø0.6 mm SS316 option	Celesco SP1 / SP2; UniMeasure LX / PA; MK30 / MK46

Family ranges are selection envelopes. Output availability, linearity, cable construction, drawings and delivery are confirmed for the quoted configuration.

SP2-50 comparison requests use the true 50-inch stroke. Dynamic crash testing requires separate speed, acceleration and bandwidth validation.

BEFORE THE MODEL IS FIXED

Four checks for DWP-SP integration.

Automotive suspension, brake pedals, pneumatic cylinders and test rigs require a sensor configuration matched to the actual machine and measurement task.

DWP-SP / QUOTATION + ACCESSORIES

Build the sensing package around your machine.

Request the model drawing, cable exit layout and proposed interface with your quotation. Accessory prices below are indicative planning additions, confirmed in the written quote.

Readout, routing & installation options

Indicative additions for quotation planning. Confirm compatibility and final price with the selected sensor.

Extension joints must stay outside the sensor outlet, wiper and pulley. An extension cable does not increase calibrated stroke. Panel relay outputs require machine-specific control validation.
