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.
Position transducers tested for airborne use
Spaceage Control has successfully completed testing of its miniature position transducers to DO-160D document requirements (Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment)
The units are claimed to be the highest-resolution string encoders available in the world.
Initial applications for the products include machine control, medical device feedback and robotic control.
The flexible and space-efficient products use a stainless-steel cable wound around a threaded machined aluminium drum.
The bearing-mounted drum is mated to a precision incremental encoder that translates linear position information to a digital electrical signal.
This transducer technology gives high precision, easy installation, and compact size.
The products may be quickly mounted using a standard rotatable mounting base or a variety of optional mounting hardware.
