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 Series M position transducer gives the lowest cost per unit length of any draw wire sensor on the market today", said Ryan Beebe, Operations Associate at SpaceAge Control.
"The Series M line gives users choices for electrical outputs, mounting orientation, and displacement range - with same-day shipping".
The new Series M line has a host of features that give unparalleled value.
With a maximum range of 2159mm, the Series M line has nearly double the capabilities of competing OEM-type sensors.
A reduced displacement cable fleet angle increases repeatability and reduces cable overlap.
Three options give users flexibility in mounting the Series M transducers.
Over 50 are available for electrical connectors and signal conditioning.
The Series M products allow mounting of SpaceAge Control's patent-pending RoundAbout cable exit for 360 x 360-degree displacement cable orientation.
This cable exit offers control over how and where the displacement cable moves relative to the application.
"The Series M products bring together some of the best elements of SpaceAge Control's design capabilities", said Beebe.
"We allow for user-replaceable displacement cable via a labyrinth-type cable exit that also serves to restrict debris from getting into the drum area".
"And, with the RoundAbout cable exit, a winner of Design News' Best Product of the Year, the Series M products can dynamically follow motion in a 3D environment, eliminating the need for transducer relocation or pulleys".
Typical prices for basic configurations are $96.00 for quantities of 40 and $160.00 for single units.
For volume and individual orders, same day shipping is available.
