FSG

FSG Fernsteuergeräte is a specialized German manufacturer of position sensors, cable-extension transducers (string pots), inductive length sensors, and position transducers for industrial measurement applications. The company, based in Pforzheim, has extensive experience in producing robust position measurement sensors for hydraulic cylinders, presses, and other linear measurement applications.

The FSG product range includes cable-extension transducers (string pots) for measuring lengths from 50 mm to more than 10 meters, inductive position transducers (LVDT), magnetic measurement scales, rotary counters, and connection boxes. Sensors are available in protection class IP67 and ATEX versions for use in demanding industrial and explosive environments.

Verkopershulp.nl supplies FSG position sensors and cable-extension transducers for industrial measurement applications. Our specialists help you select the correct sensor type, measuring length, and connection interface for your specific position measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What measuring range does an FSG cable-extension transducer have?
FSG cable-extension transducers are available in measuring lengths from 50 mm to more than 10,000 mm. Choose the measuring range 20-30% larger than your maximum stroke for long cable life. Standard series are 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 mm.
What output does an FSG position sensor have?
FSG sensors are available with potentiometer output (resistive), 0-10V voltage, 4-20mA current, and digital SSI output. Choose the output compatible with your PLC or measuring instrument input.
Are FSG sensors suitable for ATEX zones?
Yes, FSG supplies a selection of position sensors in Ex ia version for use in zones 1 and 2 (gas) and zones 21 and 22 (dust). Consult the ATEX certificate numbers in the product specifications.
How long does the cable of an FSG cable-extension transducer last?
Cable life depends on the number of cycles, tension force, and ambient temperature. Under normal industrial use, a life of more than 1 million cycles is typical. Lubricate the cable drum periodically with silicone grease.
How do I order an FSG sensor?
Specify the type, measuring range, output (potentiometer, 0-10V, 4-20mA), and protection rating. Our specialists assist with the configuration of the correct sensor for your application.
