Model 174-0321T High-Frequency-Response Position Transducer From SpaceAge Control

PALMDALE, CA -- Adding to its line of subminiature position transducers, SpaceAge Control now offers the Model 174-0321T subminiature position transducer. This product delivers extended-life, high-reliability linear  position measurement for applications involving high acceleration (greater than 20 g's). Initial applications have included crash test dummy abdomen  displacement monitoring, vehicle impact testing, and munitions testing.

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 2-56 screws provided, an optional rotatable mounting base, or custom installation plates.

The product measures up to 4 inches (101.6 mm) of travel with external dimensions of only 1.71 inches (43 mm) diameter by  0.68 inches (17 mm) wide. The products weigh approximately 2 oz. (57 g) and are available with right-hand or left-hand cable pull. Custom configurations are available for unique applications.

The product features a 5K ohm  co-molded conductive plastic potentiometric elements, a -65 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range, ±0.5% linearity, 0.75 watt power rating, and  operates for more than 100 million shaft revolutions. Cable tension is 56 oz. (16 N) nominal.

SpaceAge Control designs and manufactures miniature  position transducers that are small, flexible alternatives to LVDTs, encoders, and potentiometers. The ISO 9001-compliant company was started in  1968 and is located in Palmdale, California USA. The company may be reached at 661-273-3000 (fax: 661-273-4240, email@spaceagecontrol.com, http://www.spaceagecontrol.com).
