Today potentiometric Angular Position Transmitters attain a still more status with regard to the analogue measuring technique as far as high-quality measurement tasks are concerned due to the favourable value for money.
Potentiometric transmitters have either a high-resolution element of conductive plastic or a high-resolution gold or constantan wire with various resistance and angle values.
They are available in various sizes as single-turn or multiple-turn potentiometers or in a multiple design.
For adjustment of the measuring range almost all series can be provided with short-circuiting tracks, taps and function windings.
Some models are available with incorporated Signal Converter providing current or voltage outputs in configuration of 2, 3 or 4 wires.
To ensure reliability in very dirty atmospheres, oil-filled potentiometers are available.
Moreover, to provide protection for all potentiometers from mechanical damage, dusty and damp industrial atmospheres a series of casings with a degree of protection IP 40 to IP 68 is available which can be equipped with gearing and limit switches.
Measurement and Sensor Systems
System versions
WD Differential inductor
Inductive transducer systems (WD) are available as models of synchro size 20 (series 620) and synchro size 23 (series 1023).
They contain a differential inductor designed in form of a ring winding with a non-contact tapping.
The electrical output signals representing zero and final value of the mechanical drive shaft angle are available within a broad range of limits via trimming potentiometers of the incorporated or separate electronics.
For use in explosive installations, transducer systems as well as electronic components are available with a degree of protection EEx and Exd with ATEX approval.
MH Permanent magnet
Magnetic transducer systems (MH) are available as models of synchro sizes 9, 13, 20 and 23. They are fully enclosed in an aluminium casing of two chamber design and contain a permanent magnet with a high-precision angular encoder.
Signals are output either analogue, e. g. with 4 - 20 mA, or digitally coded (CAN open standard).
Output signal of transducers with analogue output can be programmed via rear keys of transducer to the respective measuring range.
For safety-relevant applications these systems are also available in redundant version according to IEC 61508 (SIL).
Xi u. XA Coded disk
Optoelectronic transducer systems (XI and XA) are available as models of synchro size 23 in incremental and absolute coded design.
Incremental systems convert the angle to be measured into a proportional number of pulses, appearing in two tracks A and B with an offset of 90° for identification of direction.
Absolutely coded systems are available as single- or multi-turn encoders.
They contain a gray-coded rotating disk whose 12 concentric tracks are optically scanned by infrared diodes and phototransistors.
Signals are output parallel via NPN or PNP transistors or analogue via a digital-to-analogue converter with current output 4 - 20 mA.
All transducers can also be supplied with field bus interface CAN open standard and in user-specific data format respectively.
