At Cablecraft Australia, we understand the demands of today’s industrial, off-highway, and heavy-duty applications. That’s why we proudly offer the Electronic Throttle Position Sensor – 979 000 Series, a durable and highly configurable solution ideal for machinery, mobile equipment, and outdoor environments.
Built for Performance in Tough Conditions
The 979 000 Series position sensors are engineered for reliable performance under the harshest operating conditions. Designed as a plug-and-play alternative to the 974 000 Series, this unit features a robust PA66 GF30 polyamide housing—delivering increased resistance to mechanical stress, chemicals, and temperature extremes.
Key characteristics include:
- Single return spring for controlled motion
- 42° travel angle optimised for throttle or control pedal actuation
- Water and dust ingress protection up to IP69K – perfect for high-pressure washdowns and outdoor use
- Wide temperature tolerance:
- Storage: -40°C to +125°C
- Operating: -40°C to +85°C
- AMP 6-pin connector for reliable integration
These features make the 979 000 Series ideally suited for a range of mobile and industrial applications—from construction machinery to agricultural and mining vehicles.
