F7D Linear Cable Transducer
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Displacement, SENSORS, Linear Cable Transducer, Linear Transducers
The ELCIS F7D is a linear transducer using 0.51 mm diameter wire with two 1 kΩ potentiometric outputs (voltage divider) or dual analog outputs of 4–20 mA, 0–10 V or 0–5 V, for measuring linear displacements from 0 to 2000 mm. Patented design.
Output electronics: 2 x 1 kΩ (W) potentiometers, 4–20 mA (6, only with 24 V ±5% power supply), 0–10 V (7) or 0–5 V (8, only with 5 V DC power supply), with 5, 12, or 24 V DC ±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%. Maximum 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 potentiometers 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 cable end connector (VM, TM, VL, TL, VD, VH, VH5, VI, VE, VK, TK, VN, VH6, VM5, VM9, VS, VD5).
- Nominal careers of 1000 mm, 1500 mm and 2000 mm, with stainless steel wire Ø 0.51 mm.
- Departures 2 potentiometers 1 kΩ, 4÷20 mA (only with 24V), 0-10 V and 0-5 V (only one with 5V DC), powered by 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 potentiometers and mechanics.
