Sensor Attachment
Sensors can be attached to the side T-slots of the linear actuator using the pre-installed T-slot nuts. The carriage
block will act as the flag when an ADC proximity sensor is mounted on the sensor bracket. Mounting hardware is
included with the sensor bracket kit.
NOTE: The linear actuator end blocks should not be used as hard stops. Sensors should be mounted at both
ends of stroke for a controlled stop. Best control practice is to use Normally Closed (NC) for this purpose.
