Celesco's MT3A Automotive and Aerospace Testing String Pot Built for Harsh Wet Environments

SENSORS: Celesco Transducer Products introduced the MT3A, the solution for high-acceleration test applications in potentially wet environments.

Celesco has made some significant improvements with this new version to its MT2A. Designed specifically for aerospace and automotive testing, this string pot is available in 3, 9, 15 and 30 inch stroke ranges.

The sensor offers an expanded operating temperature range and a new rugged aluminum sensor cover option. It has 3 different cable tension options for tests all the way to 90g.

A perfect linear position test sensor built to withstand the rigors of outdoor applications, the MT3A has O-ring seals that protect it against wet environments. These features allow customers to submerse the string pot temporarily in water without adverse effects. And with an all-aluminum sensor cover option, it can work effectively in extremely brutal applications.

The MT3A has a high-tension, rugged measuring cable that is specifically designed for the demands of both flight and automotive crash tests. It comes with a simple-to-use 2-axis, 360 degree rotating mounting bracket, allowing it to be easily installed in challenging locations.

Celesco’s MT3A miniature string pot has an operating temperature of -40 to 250F. It offers an all-aluminum sensor cover option that is ideal for extreme high-impact or harsh applications. And it is specifically designed to meet the high accuracy, high cycle and high acceleration demands of the aerospace and automotive industries.

Additional models in this series include the MT2E for an encoder output signal and the MT2A designed to meet the high accuracy, high cycle and high acceleration demands of the aerospace industry. Other applications include crash testing, drop tests, automotive suspension testing, airplane landing gear testing, space vehicle landing, strut tests and aircraft structural testing.
