New Series M displacement sensors have same-day shipping for cost-sensitive applications.PALMDALE, CALIFORNIA USA -- June 13, 2006 -- SpaceAge Control is now shipping the Series M general-capability position transducer that gives long displacement range, multiple mounting options, and size efficiency for OEM and high-volume applications. Available in volume and individual prices with same-day shipping, the Series M product line was developed using SpaceAge Control's extensive experience in delivering performance- and safety-critical position transducers for the aircraft, space, and automotive markets." The Series M position transducer gives the lowest cost per unit length of any draw wire sensor on the market today," said Ryan Beebe, Operations associate at SpaceAge Control.
"The Series M line gives users choices for electrical outputs, mounting orientation, and displacement range -- all with same-day shipping." The new Series M line has a host of features that give unparalleled value. With a maximum range of 85 inches (2159 mm), the Series M line has nearly double the capabilities of competing OEM-type sensors. A reduced displacement cable fleet angle increases repeatability and reduces cable overlap. Three options give users flexibility in mounting the Series M transducers.
Over 50 are available for electrical connectors and signal conditioning. The Series M products allow mounting of SpaceAge Control's patent-pending RoundAbout cable exit for 360? x 360? displacement cable orientation. This cable exit offers control over how and where the displacement cable moves relative to the application." The Series M products bring together some of the best elements of SpaceAge Control's design capabilities," said Ryan Beebe. "We allow for user-replaceable displacement cable via a labyrinth-type cable exit that also serves to restrict debris from getting into the drum area.
And, with the RoundAbout cable exit, a winner of Design News' Best Product of the Year, the Series M products can dynamically follow motion in a 3D environment, eliminating the need for transducer relocation or pulleys."
Key Series M features include:• Choice of analog (voltage divider or rheostat) or digital (quadrature) sensors • Optimum fleet angle for more repeatable displacement cable wrap • Low-inertia drum for improved frequency response • Fixed or adjustable mounting features • Compatible with self-tapping or washer/nut screws • RoundAbout™ cable exit capable (optional) • Long-life spring (100,000 full-stroke cycles minimum) • 4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC, ±5 VDC, and ±10 VDC signal conditioning (optional) Typical prices for basic configurations are $96.00 for quantities of 40 and $160.00 for single units.
