High-Resolution, Digital-Output Miniature Position Transducers
World's Highest-Resolution String Encoder

	PALMDALE, CALIFORNIA USA -- Adding to its line of miniature position transducers, SpaceAge Control, Inc. now offers the Series D60, D61, and D62 family of digital-output position transducers that offer measurement ranges of up to 43.13 inches (1095 mm).  The products deliver extended-life, high-reliability linear position measurement with digital output and a variety of resolutions.  The units are the highest-resolution string encoders available in the world.  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.

	All products are 3.2 inches by 3.2 inches by 3.0 inches (81 mm by 81 mm by 76 mm) or smaller and weigh less than 10 oz.  A variety of custom configurations are available including NEMA4X / IP66 environmental protection, absolute encoder output, and increased resolution.  

	The products feature line driver quadrature output with index lines and standard resolutions up to 3598 pulses per inch (142 pulses per mm), a -20° to +100° C 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 designs and manufactures miniature position transducers that are small, flexible alternatives to LVDTs, encoders, and potentiometers.  The ISO 9001-compliant company was started in 1968 and is located in Palmdale, California USA.  The company may be reached at 661-273-3000 (fax: 661-273-4240, email@spaceagecontrol.com, http://www.spaceagecontrol.com).
