Position transducers solution guide now available
A colour-illustrated, 8-page solution guide covering displacement measurement fundamentals, reference publications, and displacement sensors (position transducers) is now available free
Initial applications for the products include machine control, medical device feedback, and robotic control.
The flexible and space-efficient products use a stainless steel cable wound around a threaded machined aluminum drum.
The bearing-mounted drum is mated to a precision incremental encoder that translates linear position information to a digital electrical signal.
This transducer technology gives high precision, easy installation, and compact size.
The products may be quickly mounted using a standard rotatable mounting base or a variety of optional mounting hardware.
The products feature line driver quadrature output with index lines and standard resolutions up to 3598 pulses per inch (142 pulses per mm), a -20C to +100C or better operating temperature range, 5 to 26 VDC power requirement, and operate in excess of 100 million cycles.
A variety of electrical outputs are available.
SpaceAge Control, an ISO 9001-compliant company, designs and manufactures miniature position transducers that are small, flexible alternatives to LVDTs, encoders, and potentiometers.
