Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
The table lists CS005 at 0.05 mm, CS02 at 0.2 mm and CS08 at 0.8 mm. Reduced or extended spans are separate operating configurations to match to the controller.
No. Active area and recommended flat-target size are separate rows. CS005, for example, recommends a 3 mm target diameter despite a smaller active area.
No. The linearity footnote adds controller linearity to the head value. Tabulated resolution refers to DT6530, a 1.4 m CCm cable and specified bandwidth.
The CSx table specifies a type C triaxial socket. Select a compatible sensor cable with the proper controller connector; an ordinary coaxial cable is not the specified substitute.
Its table specifies IP40. Check controller and connection protection separately rather than assigning the head a rating from another system component.
