Linear Cable Transducer F600S
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Displacement, SENSORS, Linear Cable Transducer, Linear Transducers
The ELCIS F600S is an absolute wire linear transducer, with 0.51 mm diameter wire and SSI output, for measuring linear displacements up to 6 meters.
The electronics incorporate ASIC photodiodes with a 100,000-hour LED light source and a line driver (according to RS422), using SMD technology. It is protected against reverse polarity and overvoltage, with an unbreakable encoder disc and EMC certification according to EN 50081-2 and EN 61000-6-2. SSI interface: (SL), (S1) with preset, and (S4) with preset push button (radial output only).
Encoder and mechanics IP64; 1 m cable, 12-pin connector, axial or radial (CAW, CRW, PAL, PRL), IP65. 98% humidity (not in liquid state). Operating temperature -20 to +70 °C and storage temperature -40 to +85 °C. Weight 1.4 kg depending on stroke.
- Max. standard stroke 6 meters (6000+50 mm according to the plan) and resolution of 0.1 mm either 1 mm, in Gray or binary code.
- Exit SSI: (SL), (S1) with preset and (S4) with preset push button (only with radial output).
- 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 and mechanics IP64; cable and connectors IP65.
