Linearity and life depend on the order code. Continuous mechanical rotation does not imply 360° effective electrical travel.
Options are not automatically interchangeable. Confirm the complete order code, drawing revision and performance requirements in the quotation.
Mechanical integration
Check the fit. Confirm the connection.
