PANASONIC HG-S1050 — Displacement Sensors
Panasonic HG-S1050: contact-type digital displacement sensor, 50 mm, resolution 0.5 μm, IP67.

Status: In production
Brand: Panasonic
Product: Contact-type digital displacement sensor
Series: HG-S
Measuring: 50 mm
Resolution: 0.5 μm
Protection: IP67 (IEC)
HG-S1050 is a contact-type digital displacement sensor head from Panasonic’s HG-S series: the probe touches the workpiece and the spindle position is read by an optical absolute linear encoder; it is used to measure dimensions, thickness, height differences and warpage. It works with an HG-SC controller. Measuring/sensing range: 50 mm. Resolution: 0.5 μm. Sampling: 1 ms.
Degree of protection: IP67 (IEC). Ambient temperature: −10 to +55 °C (no condensation).
