Linear wire transducers
Stout, easy to install, highly protected against
environmental agents:
ELAP linear wire transducers series HLS and
HPS are the ideal solution for those
industrial applications which require high accuracy and measuring length
up to 12 metres; typical applications are: X-Y tables, hydraulic and pnematic cylinders, packing machines, and wood-, glass-, marble-, sheet-working machineries.
The
transducer consists of an
encoder or a
potentiometer operated by means of a wire-reel mechanism; the wire is out of stainless steel covered with nylon.
The
potentiometer HPS provides an analogue signal proportional to the linear displacement of the wire, while the
encoder HLS provides a number of pulses proportional to the linear displacement of the wire. The inside spring controls the return of the wire to the starting position.
For both types the
travel speed is 1000/2000 mm/sec., depending on the stroke, and the
protection degree granted by the stout anodysed aluminium case is
IP64. The connection is by means of a cable 1 m long. The operators will surely appreciate the
mounting method, which is particularly easy.
