NON-CONTACT POSITION SENSOR
Blade60
60 mm linear travel, fully configurable.
Blade60 extends the linear travel to 60 mm, and like Blade25 can be configured for 90 degrees of angular movement. Its output set is analogue plus PWM and RS232. The host interface is not interchangeable across the Blade range, so the output requirement has to be settled alongside the travel.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Is the Blade60 the correct configuration?
Before specifying, confirm:
- the measurement or level range the application needs
- the output and interface the receiving system expects
- the fluid or medium and its effect on the sensing surface
- the environmental sealing the installation demands
- the mounting arrangement and available space
- any approval or certification the application requires
If those match, the Blade60 provides that configuration.
