KTR Linear Displacement Sensors Applied in the Injection Molding Industry
In the modern injection molding industry, precision control is crucial to production quality and efficiency. The KTR series linear displacement sensors, based on the potentiometer principle (also called "electronic rulers"), are widely favored by injection molding enterprises for their compact structure, easy installation and reliable performance. As a micro self-resetting pull-rod sensor, it is specially optimized for the harsh working environment of injection molding machines, providing precise position feedback for key components.
The KTR series features a micro self-resetting pull-rod design, which simplifies installation and fits the limited space of small and medium-sized injection molding machines. It adopts a conductive plastic measuring unit, with an effective stroke of 5mm to 100mm, linear accuracy error <0.05% FS,Compatible with DC24V power supply, its output signal can be directly connected to the injection molding machine’s PLC or converted to 4–20mA for long-distance transmission.
In injection molding, the KTR series is mainly used to monitor the injection screw position and mold ejection stroke. It converts the mechanical displacement of the screw and ejection rod into real-time electrical signals, helping the control system accurately control injection volume and ejection status, thus avoiding product defects and mold damage.
Compared with other sensors, the KTR series has obvious advantages: its self-resetting function ensures stable measurement under high vibration; it has a service life of over 100×10⁶ times, reducing maintenance costs; with IP65 protection level and -40℃ to +80℃ working temperature range, it resists dust, oil and temperature fluctuations well.

Highly compatible with mainstream injection molding machines, the KTR series has models for different scenarios—such as KTR-50 for precision electronic component molding .It supports automatic grounding to avoid electromagnetic interference, and its standard plug socket facilitates on-site installation.
In conclusion, the KTR series, with its high precision, durability and easy installation, is an ideal position detection solution for injection molding machines, effectively optimizing production processes and promoting the intelligent upgrading of small and medium-sized injection molding equipment.
