Absolute rotary position sensing with zero wear
Using RDP's capacitive non-contact measurement technique, the RCDT rotary displacement transducer accurately measures the absolute position of its shaft in relation to its body.
All that is needed to work with your RDP transducer is an E725 Digital Transducer Indicator and some freeware, downloadable from the RDP web site.
At the heart of the system is the E725 Indicator.
The E725 provides the necessary excitation as well as signal conditioning for virtually all transducers of the type LVDT, strain gauge, 4 - 20mA and voltage output.
There is a choice of four different input cards each with an analogue output of current and voltage for retransmission of the equipment to external equipment.
To complete the package RDP offer free software which can be downloaded form the web site to provide a terminal emulation program and with ActiveX the ability to put data into a Microsoft Excel package with all the rich features this offers. Request a free brochure from RDP Electronics ...
