Aerospace transducer applications in depth
Technical details on the use of position transducers in aircraft and aerospace applications are now available from SpaceAge Control.
Initial applications have included industrial valve control, aircraft flight control surface monitoring, vehicle suspension tracking, and exhaust system thermal expansion verification.
The flexible and space-efficient products use a stainless-steel cable wound around a stainless-steel drum.
The bearing-mounted drum is mated to a precision potentiometric element that translates linear position information to an electrical signal.
This transducer technology gives high precision, easy installation, and fast calibration.
The products may be quickly mounted using screws provided, an optional rotatable mounting base, or custom installation plates.
Series 173 position transducers measure up to 76.2mm of travel with external dimensions of only 32.5mm diameter by 11.43mm wide.
Series 174 position transducers measure up to 101.6mm of travel with external dimensions of only 43.31 x 12.45mm wide.
Series 175 units measure up to 127mm of travel with external dimensions of only 50.55 x 12.45mm.
The products weigh approximately 28g and are available with right-hand or left-hand cable pull.
Custom configurations are available for unique applications.
The products feature 5kohm comoulded conductive plastic potentiometric elements, a -65 to +125C operating temperature range, +/-0.5% linearity, 0.75W power rating, and operate for up to 50 million cycles.
Cable tension is user specified and factory set.
