GEMCO®955 eBrik INCORPORATES LATEST ADVANCEMENTS IN LINEAR DISPLACEMENT TRANSDUCER TECHNOLOGY AMETEK Automation & Process
The highly versatile 955 eBrik™ LDT utilizes the latest generation of field-proven magnetostrictive position-sensing technology that offers accurate and reliable absolute position indication along with high resolution and precision repeatability. The rugged and durable construction of the 955 eBrik™ LDT makes it suitable for the most demanding applications. The unit is resistant to contaminants and environmental conditions and is IP67 rated.
The self-contained 955 eBrik™ LDT does not have a can or head. All of its electronics are incorporated within the unit, which is less than an inch in height (profile). A streamlined anodized aluminum extrusion houses the sensing element and electronics. The magnet moves over the sensing element that interpolates the position and converts it to a readable output.
The 955 eBrik™ LDT is easy to install and set up. It is available in stroke lengths from 1” to 72” long. The sensor offers field programmable zero and span settings and features an electronic diagnostic feedback that is transmitted through the analog output so the host controller can tell if the device has failed or moved out of the programmed range.
The 955 eBrik™ LDT offers a variety of analog output signals (0 to 10VDC, or 4 to 20mA) for maximum connectivity and utilizes standard off-the-shelf cordsets for maximum value. Its low power consumption (1.1 watt typical) allows direct connection to display and control interface modules.
Typical applications for the 955 eBrik™ LDT include plastic injection molding, extrusion equipment, tire and rubber, die casting, lumber and forest product equipment, material handling, web tensioning, and factory automation.
GEMCO LDTs are known for their flawless performance in extreme environmental conditions and are the preferred product for fast and accurate continuous linear position feedback. They are able to detect movement down to .0001" and report position information back every millisecond.
