FAQ

1. What is the linear range of 330103-12-23-05-02-00?

The linear range is 2 mm, starting at 0.25 mm from target. Output voltage spans -1 to -17 Vdc across this range.

2. What does the 120 mm unthreaded length allow?

The 120 mm unthreaded section lets the probe pass through very thick housings or insulation before threads engage. This helps when mounting through heavy machine walls.

3. What is special about the 230 mm case length?

The 230 mm case provides an exceptionally long rigid section for deep mounting applications. Combined with 120 mm unthreaded, this probe handles the most challenging installations.

4. Why choose 0.5 m total length with such long case?

The 0.5 m cable keeps the proximitor close to the probe. This configuration suits installations where the proximitor mounts near the machine despite deep probe insertion.

5. When should I choose this probe configuration?

Select this probe when you need both extreme unthreaded clearance and maximum rigid insertion depth. Ideal for machines with thick insulation, double housings, or limited thread access.
