An embedded linear displacement transducer (LDT) has been introduced by AMETEK Factory Automation, which includes shock and vibration resistance for demanding mobile hydraulic applications. With shock resistance of 1000Gs and vibration tolerance of 30Gs, the new GEMCO 958A transducer provides long life in extreme operating environments.
The 958A is designed for dependable, high-accuracy performance in mission-critical mobile heavy equipment applications. It offers absolute accuracy and reliability with high resolution and precision repeatability.
Applications include:
The transducer uses the latest generation of AMETEK’s field-proven magnetostrictive position-sensing technology to give absolute analogue position, accurate to 0.04% of the programmable sensing distance. A variety of analogue outputs are available to meet user needs.
The rugged, rod style LDT fits entirely inside a hydraulic or clevis style cylinder. This protects the transducer from outside conditions and allows use where there is no room for external devices.
It can be powered from 8-30VDC at 1.6W, making it easy to fit into a variety of systems. It includes a built-in diagnostics capability that displays the health of the unit and helps aid in troubleshooting problems if they occur.
The 958A is easy to install and set up. Units can be ordered in span lengths from 50-2540mm (2-100”) and come standard with either integral cable assemblies, bare leads or M12 style connectors.
