Linear Cable Transducer F600D
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Displacement, SENSORS, Linear Cable Transducer, Linear Transducers
The ELCIS F600D is an absolute wire linear transducer, with 0.51 mm diameter wire and DeviceNet output, for measuring linear displacements up to 6 meters.
The electronics incorporate ASIC photodiodes with a 100,000-hour LED light source, a CAN transceiver (ISO 11898), status indication with 2 LEDs, and SMD technology. It is protected against reverse polarity and overvoltages, with an unbreakable encoder disc and EMC certification according to EN 50081-2 and EN 61000-6-2.
Encoder and mechanics IP64; the output IP rating depends on the connection: cable gland (3PG, 3PG-VA, 2M20) and 5-pin round connector (1BW), all IP65. 98% humidity (non-liquid state). Operating temperature -20 to +70 °C and storage temperature -40 to +85 °C. Weight 1.4 kg depending on the stroke.
- Max. standard stroke 6 meters and resolution of 0.1 mm either 1 mm.
- Interface DeviceNet with programmable parameters (rotation direction, resolution, preset value and transmission mode).
- Thread of stainless steel Ø 0.51 mm and average lifespan of the transducer >10⁶ cycles at 2 m/s.
- Maximum linearity error of ±0.05 % fs., max. read speed of 4 m/s and max. acceleration of 2.5 G.
- Encoder IP64; connections IP65 (3PG, 3PG-VA, 2M20, 1BW).
