LONGFELLOW II • LINEAR POSITION TRANSDUCER
The new Longfellow II has a rugged long-life design featuring greater
resistance to vibration and a smooth high quality signal. It has a solid stainless
steel shaft, longer front-end bearings, a vibration-free damped element,
a spring-loaded ball joint and a high precision precious metal wiper. Carrier
guides extruded the full length of the housing insure smooth operation
even under severe side load conditions.
The Longfellow II is a direct drop-in replacement for existing Waters,
Data Instruments, Novotechnik, Gefran or Sfernice units. The newly
designed internal components provide improvements which were
developed after worldwide testing and field experience.
