640 Series.
Features: Thru-shaft configuration
actuated by customer-provided actuator
shaft • Reinforced, low-prole housing
• Dust sealed with splash- or moisture-
sealed options • Long rotational life of
greater than one million cycles
Benets: Thru-shaft configuration allows
use in space-constrained applications
where there may not be enough room for
a shaft/bushing integral to the sensor.
May be used in rugged environments
where space constraints may be
present. Designed to provide protection
against dust or moisture ingress. Long
rotational life promotes extended life in
the application. Potential applications
include position and movement detection
in construction/agricultural vehicles/
equipment, vehicle manual controls,
pedals, steering equipment, audio/visual
equipment, industrial vehicle attachments
machine control joysticks, robotic arms,
valve actuators and material handling
equipment.
