Gravity position indicators

Gravity position indicators

Gravity position indicators are available in polymer or stainless steel and can be combined with hand wheels or knobs for coupling to a drive shaft. Gravity indicators are used when the shaft on which they are mounted is horizontal or on an incline of up to 60 degrees, offering high accuracy. The reading of gravity indicators can be analog or digital.

By turning a hand wheel with an indicator the pointers move while the dial is kept still by gravity. Every turn of the large pointer (red) corresponds to a fraction of a turn of the small pointer (black). The number of turns of the red pointer to make a full revolution to the black pointer is the indicator ratio. Dials are available for all standard ratios in configurations with clockwise or counter-clockwise graduations. Special dials with marks or customized graduations are available on request. Ultrasonic welded windows ensure cases are sealed to IP65 protection. Please see the specification sheet to accurately choose what best fits your needs.
