EF13I Wired Linear Transducer
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Displacement, SENSORS, Linear Cable Transducer, Linear Transducers
The ELCIS EF13I is a linear transducer using a 1.35 mm diameter wire cable, in incremental or analog versions, for measuring linear displacements of up to 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 meters.
Stainless steel cable of Ø 1.35 mm with pull-out and pull-out forces of 20 N and 10 N. It offers incremental electronics (NPN, PNP, push-pull, 26LS31 or 88C30 driver, TTL 7404, 1 Vpp sinusoidal) or analog electronics (1 kΩ potentiometer, 4÷20 mA, 0÷10 V), resolution of 0.1 mm or 1 mm, linearity of ±0.05 % fs, max. reading speed of 4 m/s and max. acceleration of 2.5 G.
The encoder is IP64 rated, and the mechanical components are IP64 rated. It operates from 0 to 70 °C (storage from -30 to 85 °C) and weighs 4.5–9 kg depending on length. It is powered by 5 to 30 V depending on the code and connects via a 1 m cable, connectors, cable end connectors, or a Phoenix terminal box, with protection ranging from IP00 to IP67 depending on the connection.
- Standard races of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 m.
- Stainless steel cable Ø 1.35 mm; average bearing life >10⁶ cycles at 2 m/s.
- Exit incremental (NPN, PNP, push-pull, driver, TTL, sine 1 Vpp) either analog (1 kΩ, 4÷20 mA, 0-10 V).
- Resolution of 0.1 mm either 1 mm with linearity of ±0.05 % fs.
- Maximum reading speed 4 m/s and max. acceleration of 2.5 G.
Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What measurement ranges and resolutions does the EF13I support?
It supports standard lengths of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 m, with resolutions of 0.1 mm (code 100) and 1 mm (code 1000).
What electronics and power supplies does the EF13I offer?
NPN, PNP, push-pull electronics, 26LS31 or 88C30 driver, TTL 7404, 1 Vpp sinusoidal and analog (1 kΩ potentiometer, 4÷20 mA, 0÷10 V), with 5 to 30 V power supply depending on the code. With 88C30 driver, max. 15 Vdc.
What connections, outputs, and protection ratings does the EF13I have?
IP64 encoder and IP64 mechanical components; output depends on the connection. Connection via 1 m CV cable (IP65), CM, SM, CL, SL, CD, CH, CH5, CI, CE, C4, and CH6 connectors (IP63 to IP67), cable end connectors (IP65 at the encoder output), or MS terminal box (IP65). Cable, connectors, and cable end connectors support axial or radial (R) output; the MS terminal box supports axial output only.
