PT9600 Part Number Decoder & How to Order
The Celesco PT9600 drives a customer's rotational sensor (encoder) via a converted cable drum. Order code: PT9600 – RRRR – A B C – DD, where the last block is the encoder mounting style (F01, F02, S01, S02, S04). Example: PT9600-0250-124-F01 = 250-inch range, aluminum/26 oz, Ø.047" stainless cable, bottom exit, 2.5-inch square flange mount with 3/8-inch shaft.

Special Options & Notes
- RBS9600 is the heavy-duty (Rugged Boat/Barrel Series) version of the PT9600 and follows the same code structure (e.g. RBS9600-0450-422-S02).
- Encoder mounts other than F01/F02/S01/S02/S04 (e.g. F53, SUM) are factory specials — all encoder types can be supported on request.
- Range codes above 0550 (e.g. PT9600-1000-…) are not standard PT9600 ranges; contact the factory for long-stroke variants.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does PT9600-0250-124-F01 mean?
A Celesco PT9600 with 250-inch stroke (0250), aluminum enclosure with 26 oz tension (1), Ø.047" stainless measuring cable (2), bottom cable exit (4) and a 2.5-inch square flange encoder mount with 3/8-inch shaft (F01).
What is the difference between PT9600 and RBS9600?
The RBS9600 is the ruggedized heavy-duty version of the PT9600. Both share the same ordering structure — range, enclosure/tension, cable, exit and encoder mounting style — with the RBS built for harsher marine/off-highway environments.
Can I use my own encoder with the PT9600?
Yes. The PT9600's D code selects the mounting interface for your rotational sensor (two flange sizes with 3/8-inch shaft, or three face-mount styles with 6 mm or 10 mm shafts). Other encoder types are supported on request — contact the factory.
