The ELCIS EF500 is a linear cable transducer with Ø 0.5 mm wire for measuring linear displacements, with a maximum useful stroke of 5000 mm, resolution of 0.1 or 1 mm and the possibility of finding the zero.

Stainless steel cable of Ø 0.5 mm with pull-out and pull-out forces of 7.1 N and 3.2 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), max. frequency of 100 kHz, linearity of ±0.04 % fs, max. reading speed of 10 m/s and max. acceleration of 5 G.

IP64 encoder and IP43 mechanical encoder, operates from 0 to 70 °C (storage from -30 to 85 °C) and weighs 950 g. It is powered from 5 to 30 V according to the code and is connected by 1 m cable, connectors, cable end connectors or Phoenix terminal box, with protection between IP00 and IP67 depending on the connection.

Maximum useful stroke of 5000 mm.
Stainless steel cable Ø 0.5 mm; bearing life 1.5 × 10⁹ revolutions.
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 ±0.04 % fs.
Maximum reading speed 10 m/s and max. acceleration of 5G.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

What measurement ranges and resolutions does the EF500 support?

It allows a maximum useful stroke of 5000 mm, with resolutions of 0.1 mm (code 100) and 1 mm (code 1000). Zero search is possible.

What electronics and power supplies does the EF500 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 and protection ratings does the EF500 have?

IP64 encoder and IP43 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 (IP00). Cable, connectors, and cable end connectors support axial or radial (R) output; the MS terminal box supports axial output only.
