AF500 Wired Linear Transducer
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Displacement, SENSORS, Linear Cable Transducer, Linear Transducers
The ELCIS AF500 is an absolute wired linear transducer with a useful stroke of up to 5000 mm, Gray or BCD output code, max. resolution of 0.1 mm and IP64 protection rating with CM6 or SM6 connections.
It uses an LED light source (life ≥ 100,000 h) and push-pull phototransistor sensors; it offers a resolution of 0.1 mm or 1 mm, an accuracy of ±0.2 mm, and a maximum frequency of 25 kHz, with up/down switching. Its maximum reading speed is 10 m/s and its maximum acceleration is 5 G, with cable forces of 7.3 N on extension and 3.2 N on retraction.
Stainless steel shaft (h7) and bearings (ABEC 5), with a bearing life of 1.5 × 10⁹ revolutions. Operates from 0 to +70 °C (other temperatures available upon request) and can be stored from -30 to +85 °C. Standard output stages: NPN open collector 10 mA, KK NPN open collector 70 mA, KP NPN open emitter 70 mA, and B Push-Pull 70 mA. Application notes: Do not abruptly release the cable, do not exceed the maximum stroke, do not drag it over sharp surfaces, do not lubricate it, and do not open the transducer.
- Race up to 5000 mm and accuracy of ±0.2 mm.
- Resolution of 0.1 mm either 1 mm with code output Gray or BCD.
- Maximum reading speed of 10 m/s and max. acceleration of 5G.
- Output stages: NPN 10 mA, NPN 70 mA, open issuer NPN 70 mA and Push-Pull 70 mA.
- Protection IP64 with CM6 or SM6 connection; CDH connection axial only.
