Product Description
US Digital offers a wide variety of standard linear strips. These products are available in many different resolutions and lengths. The material used is mylar polyester film. This material is very rugged and virtually unbreakable with a wide temperature range of -20C to 100C. There is no minimum order.
Custom linear strips are available with multiple index points, unique mounting holes and different size linear strip widths (contact the sales department). Users are now able to customize resolutions to specific applications (see the EDIVIDE page).
The mylar linear strips have a thickness of .007" and are cut to a width of 0.700". .004" thickness is also available on special order. The index parameter in the part number configurator refers to the distance between the index mark and the left edge of the strip when the text is right-reading.
