Adding to its line of miniature position transducers, SpaceAge Control, now offers the Model 300185 position transducer for demanding industrial control environments.
Compact precision transducers are reliable
SpaceAge Control's Series 173, 174, and 175 position transducers deliver extended-life, high-reliability position measurement in a compact size.
The units are the highest-resolution string encoders available in the world.
Initial applications for the products include machine control, medical device feedback, and robotic control.
The flexible and space-efficient products use a stainless steel cable wound around a threaded machined aluminum drum.
The bearing-mounted drum is mated to a precision incremental encoder that translates linear position information to a digital electrical signal.
This transducer technology gives high precision, easy installation, and compact size.
The products may be quickly mounted using a standard rotatable mounting base or a variety of optional mounting hardware.
