NON-CONTACT POSITION SENSOR
Blade25
25 mm linear travel, fully configurable.
Blade25 is the 25 mm linear member of the Blade range, and can also be configured for 90 degrees of angular movement. Nothing touches, so nothing wears: the two parts of the sensor never make contact. It carries the widest output choice in the range, analogue plus PWM, RS232 and RS485.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Is the Blade25 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 Blade25 provides that configuration.
