The KINAX WT 707 is a device that converts the angular position of a shaft into a load-independent direct current signal, suitable for machines and ship building. It features contact-free measuring input, a potentiometer for adjusting the measuring range, an output signal that increases with clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation, a capacitive scanning system, and continuous shaft rotation.
The KINAX WT 707 is a ruggedized angular‑position transmitter that outputs a load‑independent DC current proportional to the measured shaft angle. It offers selectable measuring ranges, direction of rotation, and optional intrinsic‑safety protection for hazardous areas.
The document contains technical specifications such as measuring range, output current options, power‑supply requirements, accuracy, temperature rating, housing protection (IP66), and weight. It also details mounting configurations, explosion‑protection certifications, and ordering codes for various versions and gear ratios.
