Quadrature output option available for transducers

13 August 2003 Switches, Relays & Keypads

Balluff's new quadrature output option, available on the company's Micropulse Z and P style transducers, gives designers more interface options for connecting to motion-based systems. The quadrature output interfaces directly to standard encoder inputs (90° out-of-phase, A&B), but unlike other encoders, the Micropulse Absolute Quadrature has added features.

It provides absolute position information upon request, eliminating the need to re-home after power-loss. It operates in either synchronous or free-running modes. Position resolution is selectable to 1, 2, 5, 10 µm or 0,001", 0,0001", while pulse frequencies are selectable to 10, 208, 416, or 833 kHz.

With unique design, high protection rating and ease of installation, the BTL-P style transducers are an attractive alternative to potentiometers, glass scales and LVDTs. The heavy duty stainless steel pressure tube with its maintenance-free housing, means the BTL-Z rod style transducer is suited for a wide variety of automation and process technology areas, even under extreme ambient conditions.
