Macro Sensors has a new family of economically-priced, user-friendly digital controllers and indicators designed for measurement and control applications involving LVDT-based displacement transducers
Single-channel DIN-rail signal conditioner
Macro Sensors, manufacturers of LVDTs and related instrumentation, introduces a new single-channel DIN-rail mounted modular signal conditioner that supports LVDT, RVDT or half-bridge inductive sensors
Electronics and coil windings are hermetically sealed against hostile environments to IEC standard IP-68.
The GHSAR offers a through-bore design that allows for air purging of the sensor bearings to remove any potential contaminants.
Electrical termination is made through a radially-mounted sealed connector that shortens the installed length of the LVDTs for use in locations with space restrictions.
A detachable mating connector is supplied with every unit for easy replacement of damaged cables.
These spring-loaded position sensors consist of a spring-laded shaft running in a precision sleeve bearing and connected to the LVDT core.
Use of a precision sleeve bearing results in excellent measurement repeatability of 0.000025 inches (0.6 micron) or better, and maximum linearity error of 0.25% of full range output.
Units are available in standard measurement ranges of 0.100 to 2.00".
GHSAR 750 units operate from 3.0 Vrms (nominal) and can be connected to any standard LVDT signal conditioner, then passed to a gauging column display, digital recorder or computer-based data acquisition system.
GHSDR 750 units feature built-in electronics operating from a 15V DC input and provide a pre-calibrated 0 to 10 V DC output that works in conjunction with many PLCs, digital indicators, A/D converters, computer-based data processors, and QC data collection systems.
Pricing for the GHSAR/GHSDR 750 series begins at USD350.
