Solartron Adds Long range Linear Displacement Measurement to Expanding Product Range
Apr 16, 2007
With the addition of GEMCO Series Linear Displacement transducers to the product range, Solartron Metrology can now offer a full catalogue of long measuring range, high accuracy measurement solutions.
The new transducers utilise field proven magnetostrictive technology to give absolute position, repeatable to .006% of the programmable sensing range. A magnet moves over the sensing element that determines the position and converts it to an analogue output.
Both analogue and digital versions are available either, 0 to 10 VDC or 4 to 20 mA outputs. On offer are two styles, a rugged in-cylinder and a brick style non-contact version.
The in-cylinder style S953 range devices are designed for heavy process and automation applications where mobile equipment or stationary process actuation demands absolute accuracy and reliability in linear position feedback, regardless of extreme operating conditions.
The S953 range can be supplied with up to a 7620 mm travel (300 inches) with resolution down to 1.524 microns (.00006”). To match its rugged build quality the range has been vibration tested and shock tested to 30G and environmentally rated to IP68.
The non-contact S955 BRIK unit is an accurate programmable, auto-tuning, non-contact, linear displacement transducer in a low profile package, being designed for applications where economic continuous feedback is required.
