F7A Linear Cable Transducer
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Displacement, SENSORS, Linear Cable Transducer, Linear Transducers
The ELCIS F7A is a linear transducer using 0.51 mm diameter wire, with a 1 kΩ potentiometric output (voltage divider) for measuring linear displacements from 0 to 2000 mm. Patented design.
The potentiometer (W) has infinite resolution, a temperature coefficient of ±100 ppm/°C, and a useful voltage divider range of ~3% ÷ 97%. It has a maximum linearity error of ±0.25% fs, a repeatability of ±0.15% fs, and a 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; impact resistance of 50 G x 11 ms and vibration resistance of 12 G (10 ÷ 2000 Hz). IP50 protection rating for the potentiometer and IP54 for the mechanical components; output depends on the connection. Mounting without bracket (N) or with bracket and wire output to the top (A), right (D), or left (S). Connection via 1 m cable (CV), with lengths from 1 to 5 m (01 to 05), or cable end connector (VM, TM, VL, TL, VD, VH, VH5, VI, VE, VK, TK, VN, VH6, VM5, VM9, VS, VD5). Options: spring hook (carabiner) with pulley (G), magnetic attachment (M) and custom option (X).
- Career 0 to 2000 mm (preferred shares) 1000, 1500 and 2000 mm), with stainless steel wire of Ø 0.51 mm.
- Exit 1 kΩ potentiometric with infinite resolution.
- 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; IP50 in the potentiometer and IP54 in mechanics.
