New space-saving multichannel eddy-current displacement sensor
To support machine designers requiring multichannel displacement sensing in a compact package, Lion Precision is releasing the ECL150 Eddy-Current Displacement Sensor. The new sensor features up to eight channels of high-resolution, non-contact displacement sensing in a package measuring only 4.2×7.6×2.3 inches (108×193×57mm). The ECL150 is built on the company's new CompactFLEX platform which allows for easy customisation for OEM applications.
Don Martin, company president, says: "More and more applications are requiring multiple sensing channels and offering less space to put it in; we needed to provide a better solution to our customers. We've reduced the power, cost and space demands while eliminating the need for interconnecting cables between channels."
The ECL150 is a high-performance non-contact sensing system offering resolutions as low as 2.6 nm at 15kHz bandwidth, and offering measurement ranges from 0.5-15mm.
Specifications:
- Typical Resolution: 0.006 per cent RMS
- Linearity +/-0.2 per cent of Range
- Maximum Bandwidth 15 kHz
- Analog Output +/-5V DC
- Input Power 12-24V DC
- 0.75 W/Channel
