World's smallest cable position transducer
Adding to its line of miniature and sub-miniature cable position transducers, SpaceAge Control, is now shipping the Series 150, the smallest cable position transducer available in the world.
Initial applications have included crash-test-dummy abdomen displacement monitoring, vehicle impact testing and munitions testing.
The flexible and space-efficient products use a stainless-steel cable wound around a stainless-steel drum.
The bearing-mounted drum is mated to a precision potentiometric element that translates linear position information to an electrical signal.
This transducer technology gives high precision, easy installation, and fast calibration.
The products may be quickly mounted using 2-56 screws provided, an optional rotatable mounting base, or custom installation plates.
The product measures up to 101.6mm of travel with external dimensions of only 43mm diameter by 17mm wide.
The products weigh approximately 57g and is available with right-hand or left-hand cable pull.
Custom configurations are available for unique applications.
The product features a 5kohm comoulded conductive plastic potentiometric element, a -65 to +125C operating temperature range, +/-0.5% linearity, 0.75W power rating, and operates for more than 100 million shaft revolutions.
Nominal cable tension is 16N.
