CR80 Rack and Pinion Linear Transducer
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Displacement, SENSORS, Rack and Pinion Linear Transducer, Linear Transducers
The ELCIS CR80 is an incremental rack and pinion linear transducer with a module of 0.796, a stroke from 100 mm, and a resolution of 1 µm to 1 mm. It comes with the rack and pinion system pre-assembled and is applicable to machine tools, CNC machines, etc.
The CR80 features a stainless steel rack (HRC 33-35) with a ground profile and a tolerance of ±4 µm, a steel base support with thermal expansion similar to that of the machine tool bed, and an extruded anodized anticorodal top cover. It uses push-pull phototransistor sensors with an LED light source and a 72-hour burn-in time, certified for accuracy using a laser interferometer.
Power supply: 5 V ±5%, 8–24 V, 18–28 V, 8–15 V, 12 V ±5%, 24 V ±5%, 12–30 V (12 V output) and 8–24 V (5 V output). Electrical connection with connector (CD) mounted on the cursor carriage or with cable (CV), with IP65 on the CV connection.
- Rack and pinion system mod. 0.796 with careers from 100 mm.
- Resolution of 1 µm to 1 mm (codes 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000) with external multiplication x1, x2 or x4.
- Zipper stainless steel HRC 33-35 with rectified tolerance profile ±4 µm/m.
- Maximum error in useful run of ±4 µm, ±5 µm either ±10 µm According to the resolution, it is not cumulative.
- IP65 with CV connection and read speed of up to 20 m/min.
