The RCDT rotary displacement sensor from RDP Electronics addresses the problems of accurate rotational measurement of a shaft through the application of a capacitive, noncontact technique.
The RCDT rotary displacement sensor from RDP Electronics addresses the problems of accurate rotational measurement of a shaft through the application of a capacitive, noncontact technique Designed primarily for industrial process applications, the RCDT has a measurement range spanning 300 degrees of arc with a full-scale resolution of 0.01% and linearity of +/-1%
The compact housing of the RCDT incorporates hybrid electronic circuitry, operating from 13-18V DC, to provide a 3V DC full-scale output.
A major advantage of the capacitive measurement technique is a long lifespan due to the absence of contact wear, and the sensor's immunity to off-axis forces.
Measurements can be taken from limited-range shafts or continuously rotating shafts, and a double-gang version is available to provide dual outputs or single redundancy for critical measurement situations. Request a free brochure from RDP Electronics ...
