Gefran PY-2-F-050-S01M 0000X000X00 50 mm Transducer

Product Identity

The Gefran PY-2-F-050-S01M 0000X000X00 is a PY2 spring-return potentiometric transducer with a 50 mm useful electrical stroke and a 1 m screened connection cable. The exact Gefran ordering number is F004242.

This configuration combines the longest stroke among the three selected S01M versions with direct ball-tip contact measurement. It can monitor a moving surface continuously where a fixed connector would complicate installation or where the signal cable must be routed directly to a junction box or control cabinet.

F004242 Configuration Summary

• 50 mm continuous absolute measurement range.
• Spring-return rod with double mechanical support.
• Stainless-steel ball tip attached by an M2.5 thread.
• F electrical version with a three-wire screened cable.
• S01M configuration specifying a 1 m cable.
• Verified complete ordering reference F004242.

Technical Specifications

Installation Risks Specific to the 50 mm Stroke

The machine must provide enough axial space for the sensor body and full probe movement. Determine the minimum and maximum target positions before mounting. If the mechanism can exceed 50 mm, use a mechanical limit or alternative protection so that machine overtravel is not transferred into the transducer.

The target should contact the central area of the ball tip. Sideways sliding, misalignment or repeated impact can damage the rod supports. After mounting, operate the mechanism slowly through its full cycle and confirm that the probe remains within range.

Electrical and Screening Requirements

Route the 1 m screened cable separately from drive outputs, contactor wiring and other high-noise conductors. The screen connection should follow the control-system grounding plan. Verify excitation, signal direction and analogue scaling; the published maximum voltage is not necessarily the correct operating supply for the installed machine.

Comparison with Neighboring Models

PY-2-F-025-S01M 0000X000X00 F004228 provides 25 mm travel with the same nominal cable length. PY-2-C-050 0000X000X00 F004207 uses a DIN 43322 connector rather than a permanently attached cable. F004248 and F004249 correspond to 50 mm PY2 versions with S02M and S03M cable configurations.

PY3 50 mm products use a bearing-type contact tip instead of the PY2 ball tip. The difference may affect contact geometry and suitability for a moving target surface.

Ordering and Replacement Verification

Confirm F004242, the full 0000X000X00 suffix, S01M cable length, 50 mm stroke and ball-tip construction. Check the original label rather than relying on a shortened marketplace title. Additional XL suffixes, alternative cable lengths and connector versions must be treated as separate configurations.
