F6C Wired Linear Transducer
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Displacement, SENSORS, Linear Cable Transducer, Linear Transducers
The ELCIS F6C is a linear transducer for wire Ø 0.51 mm, with a stroke of 0 to 1500 mm and potentiometer outputs of 1 kΩ, 4÷20 mA, 0÷10 V, 0÷5 V or incremental (I, only with wire up to 1000 mm and 5 V or 24 V). Patented manufacturing.
1 kΩ (W) potentiometer output, 4–20 mA (6), 0–10 V (7), 0–5 V (8) or incremental (I, only with max. wire length 1000 mm and with 5 V or 24 V), with 5, 12, or 24 VDC ±5% power supply depending on the electronics. Infinite resolution; potentiometer temperature coefficient of ±100 ppm/°C and useful range as a voltage divider of ~3%–97%. Max. linearity error of ±0.25% fs, repeatability of ±0.15% fs, and maximum reading speed of 1 m/s.
Stainless steel wire, 0.51 mm diameter, and aluminum housing; pull-out forces <4.5 N and retraction forces <3.5 N; shock resistance of 50 G x 11 ms and vibration resistance of 12 G (10 ÷ 2000 Hz). IP54 protection rating for potentiometer and mechanical components; output: see connections. Mounting without bracket (N) or with bracket and wire exit at the top (A), right (D), or left (S); spring-loaded (carabiner) attachment options with pulley (G) and magnetic attachment (M). Connection via 1 to 5 m cable (CV) or 4-pin CQ2 connector (IP66), or cable end connector (VM, TM, VL, TL, VD, VH, VH5, VI, VE, VK, TK, VN, VH6, VM5, VM9, VS, VD5).
- Nominal careers of 750 mm and 1500 mm, with stainless steel wire Ø 0.51 mm.
- Departures 1 kΩ potentiometer, 4÷20 mA, 0-10 V, 0-5 V e incremental (this one, only with max. 1000 mm wire and with 5 V or 24 V), with power supply of 5, 12 or 24 Vcc ±5 % according to electronics.
- Extraction force <4.5 N and retraction <3.5 N.
- Fixation N (without a set square) or TO, D and S (with square and upper thread exit, right or left); options G (spring hitch with pulley) and M (magnetic fixation).
- Connection cable 1 to 5 m or connector at the end of the cable; IP54 in potentiometer and mechanics.
