Celesco PT8510-0040-111-1310 Position Transducer

PT8510-0040-111-1310 is an industrial string potentiometer (cable‑extension position transducer) from Celesco that converts the travel of its measuring cable into a voltage proportional to linear position. The 40‑inch full stroke variant is part of the PT8510 family, designed for reliable position sensing in automation, testing, and machinery where a flexible measurement tail is needed. It operates from an unregulated 14.5 to 40 VDC supply and provides a regulated output signal across the full range; available output formats for the PT8510 series include 0–5 VDC and 0–10 VDC, depending on configuration. A 40‑inch stroke corresponds to about 1016 mm of travel, while the series also offers longer strokes up to 60 inches for other part numbers. The device is compatible with standard data acquisition and control systems that accept voltage‑position inputs, making it suitable for PLC feedback loops, motor control, test rigs, and process automation. The PT8510-0040-111-1310 variant adheres to Celesco’s string‑pot design heritage, delivering a direct, linearly proportional output to the cable extension and enabling straightforward integration with instrumentation and control hardware without requiring custom signal conditioning.
