General
The MT2A is a member of our family of rugged,
accurate miniature cable-extension position
transducers designed specifically for test
applications. One of the major benefits to this sensor
is its 2-axis 360° rotating mounting bracket to allow
for fast and simple installation in any direction.
The MT2A comes in 5 different measuring ranges:
0-3”, 0-9”, 0-15”, 0-30”, 0-50”and features a highly-
tensioned heavy-duty measuring cable designed for
the high-acceleration demands encountered in flight
testing and automotive crash tests.
For extreme impact applications, a new rugged all
aluminum sensor cover is now available!
