RDP transducers give direct analogue output
A
RDP Electronics product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Nov 4, 2009
RDP Electronics' rugged MTS R Series analogue transducers are suited to a range of industrial applications that require a direct analogue output for continuous measurement of displacement and speed.
The magnetostrictive principle permits absolute, contact-free position measurement combining various magneto-mechanical effects with precise speed measurement of an ultrasonic wave.
Integral signal processing electronics accommodated in the sensor head can be selected for a range of standard analogue outputs: 0 to 10V, +/-10V, 4 to 20mA and 0 to 20mA.
There is the option for user-configurable variations, for example to set to 1 to 9V over a portion of the nominal measuring range.
With linearity of +/-0.01per cent FS (+/-50um best) and 16-bit resolution of 0.0015 per cent (or 1um best), the R Series accuracy and repeatability of measurement.
A hand-held programming device allows simple reconfiguration to be achieved.
