Data Sheet - Series R Rotary Transducer

Information on 3D Displacement Sensors











































Overview

The Series R rotary transducer gives precision rotational measurements from 1 to 150 turns. It is a ultra-rugged device that utilizes state-of-the-art ThreadSensor™ technology allowing accurate and repeatable measurements in a compact package.

The Series R is aimed at rotational sensing with high life-cycle and low cost requirements in harsh environments. Applications include replacements for potentiometers, encoders, resolvers, synchros and various other industrial rotational sensor technologies. Dual and quad redundancy features are also available in the same miniature package for fail-safe or mission critical applications

Rotary Transducer

Key Features

  • Target applications: rotational sensing with high life-cycle and low cost requirements in harsh environments
  • Suitable replacement for potentiometers, encoders, resolvers, synchros and various other industrial rotational sensor technologies.
  • Dual and quad redundancy is available in the same miniature package size for fail-safe or mission critical applications.
  • FlexSignal™ integrated signal conditioning allows a variety of electrical outputs including but not limited to 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC, ±5 VDC, ±10 VDC and 4-20mA.
  • Because the sensor is absolute, positional information will be retained even after power loss.
  • Environmentally sealed unit as a standard
  • DIN 45326 sealed electrical connector as standard
  • Various mechanical mounting options
  • Various shaft size options
