Product information
The GLV/GLK18 series sensors help improve
the efficiency of machines and systems. The
design of the M18 plastic housing, the connection technology, and sensor properties
are highly standardized. Concentrating on the
key sensor requirements has produced a
robust and reliable product series for DC and
AC/DC voltage systems without any overengineering. The mounting set included in the
scope of delivery and the optimized potentiometer design ensure fast assembly and easy
configuration.
