Built for Precision in Demanding Environments
The GH-750-D/E/I series is specifically designed for applications where accuracy, durability, and ease of integration are paramount. These spring-loaded sensors incorporate a precision return spring to maintain constant surface contact, and internal sleeve bearings that guide the probe shaft with minimal friction or play.
Each unit is hermetically sealed and resistant to dust, water, shock, and vibration, ensuring years of trouble-free operation in even the most aggressive operating environments.
Output Options
The GH-750 series includes multiple output variants to meet your system’s requirements:
-
GH-750-D: ±10 VDC output
-
GH-750-E: 0-10 VDC output
-
GH-750-I: 4-20 mA current loop output
All versions operate with standard DC input voltages and offer stable, low-noise output for direct connection to control systems or data acquisition equipment.
