DCC Series 4-20mA 2-wire Output Displacement Transducer

DCC Series 4-20mA 2-wire Output Displacement Transducer

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications for a series of displacement transducers designed for industrial applications. These transducers utilize a 4-20mA 2-wire interface and are constructed from stainless steel, offering high accuracy, high cycle life, and high resolution.
Specifications: The transducers are based on the Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) principle, ensuring robust and reliable position sensing without electrical contact across the sensing element. This results in clean data, infinite resolution, and long life. The transducers are available in unguided, captive, and spring return versions, each suited for different application needs.
Technical Details: The document lists various models with their respective ranges, linearity errors, dimensions, weights, and travel specifications. For example, the DCTH100/1431 model has a range of 5mm and a linearity error of less than ±0.5% F.S., with a total weight of 207g.
Electrical Specifications: The transducers operate with an excitation/supply voltage of 12V to 36V and output a 4-20mA signal. The output load is calculated as (Vs-11) x 50 Ohms, with an output ripple of 50uA peak-to-peak and an electrical output bandwidth of 250Hz. The operating temperature range is -10°C to 70°C.
Applications: These transducers are suitable for applications requiring precise displacement or position measurement. The unguided version is ideal for non-contact operations where external guidance is available. The captive guided version includes bearings for applications with poor guidance, and the spring return version is used when the armature cannot be connected to the moving component.
Contact Information: RDP Electronics Ltd, located in Wolverhampton, UK, is the manufacturer. They can be contacted via phone, fax, or email for further inquiries.
Note: Specifications are subject to change due to ongoing development, and all dimensions and specifications are nominal.

DCC Series 4-20mA 2-wire Output Displacement Transducer-1

DISPLACEMENT DCC Series 4-20mA 2-wire Output Displacement Transducer ● ● ● ● ● ● Electrical interface for industrial applcations 4-20mA 2 wire interface Stainless steel High accuracy High cycle life High resolution These transducers are for displacement / position measurement. They make an accurate position measurement of the movement of the armature (the sliding part) relative to the body of the displacement transducer. This transducer uses the Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) principle which means that it is probably the most robust and reliable position sensor type available. The strength of the LVDT sensor's principle is that there is no electrical contact across the transducer position sensing element which for the user of the sensor means clean data, infinite resolution and a very long life. Our 4-20mA LVDT transducer has all of the benefits of the LVDT sensor principle with the added convenience of a 2-wire interface.. This series of displacement transducer is available as either an unguided, captive or spring return version. Torque Pressure Pressure Position Load Cells Displacement Instrumentation Special Custom Designs Type equation here. On our unguided LVDTs the armature assembly is a separate component, to make a measurement the user must guide the armature inside the body without touching the sides. Unguided position measurement transducers are appropriate where external guidance is available and give truly noncontact operation Total weight
