Linear position sensor PCR III

non-contactmagnetostrictiveanalog

The level transducers of the PCR III series are rugged, accurate, without mechanical wear between the measuring probe and the float, they are resistant to shock and vibrations and are equipped with protection against hostile environments. They are absolute measure transducers – of a magnetostrictive type – with measuring ranges from 100 to 3,000 mm, which measure the position of the magnetic cursor compared to the probe in a fluid digitally and continuously with no friction or wear between the parts. There is a dead zone on the measuring probe near the tip of 55 mm – for measurement purposes – as per the design. Normally this area is comprised within the float (AFC models 2S, 4S, 6S, 10S or 12S), and should be taken into account when using the AFC-8S float. It is possible upon request to provide the measuring probe of the transducer with a restraint system of the float that avoids removal. This can be an accessory that is added to the outside of the standard probe (height 9 mm) or can be integrated into the tip of the measuring probe, increasing its length by 10 mm. The position measurement is available as digital data in the calibration units – via a RS485 connection with a Modbus, or CANopen protocol – or as an analog signal (voltage or current).
