FAQ

SGM-PR40 — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the repeatability of SGM-PR40?
The SGM-PR40 datasheet gives a repeatability of ±0.005 mm.
How does SGM-PR40 differ from SGM-PR50?
Both are compact rod sensors for 25–4000 mm. SGM-PR40 has a cylindrical head with an M12 connector; SGM-PR50 has a smaller hex head for the tightest installations.
What is the measuring range of SGM-PR40?
SGM-PR40 is orderable from 25 to 4000 mm in 5 mm steps. Longer ranges and special temperature or pressure versions are available on request.
How do I read the SGM-PR40 ordering code?
The code follows SGM-PR40-<mounting>-<range>-<output>-<connection>[-options]. For example SGM-PR40-18-00400-I1F-K12 means: 400 mm, 4–20 mA, M12 connector. The full option list is in the ordering-code table on this page and in the datasheet.
What is the MOQ and lead time for SGM-PR40?
MOQ is 1 piece. Samples ship in 5–7 working days, production orders in 3–5 weeks, and we reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
