Key Features
- Allows dynamic 3D displacement cable motion
- Gives 360° by 317° displacement cable orientation flexibility
- Unique curved cable guiding surface allows for dynamic displacement cable motion
- Rugged anodized aluminum, shielded stainless steel bearings, and engineering plastics construction
- Mountable on the position transducer or via independent mounting base
- Reduces the need for flexible position transducer mounting bases
- Saves time: no need to re-locate or re-orient the position transducer after installation
