FX SERIES

The FX-HM series linear position transducer provides up to 15 (381mm) of measurement range in a subcompact plastic package. With a two point mounting system and a diameter of 1.5 inches, it is ideal for use in areas where space is a premium.

The linear position transducers and displacement sensors employ a non-contacting hall effect internal sensor which permits use in applications where a very high cycle life is required. With an excitation voltage requirement anywhere in the range of 4.9 to 30 volts and a very low current requirement, the unit may easily be battery powered or operated from most standard instrumentation power supplies.

The analog voltage output of nominally 0 to 10 VDC may be easily interfaced to most popular data acquisition, PLC and display devices. Our linear position transducers have a dynamic response capability of up to 25 Hz over a 1.5 range, making it acceptable for use in measurement applications for suspension travel, throttle position, machine mechanism monitoring and many other applications where space restrictions exist.

LX SERIES

UniMeasure LX Series linear displacement transducers are a low-cost compact device for use in light to moderate duty applications in dry environments.

The plastic bodied device is ideal for high-volume OEM situations where cost is a major consideration and in applications where small size or low weight are of paramount importance.

The linear variable displacement transducers (LVDT) are available in 11 measurement ranges from 0?-2? (50mm) to 0?-50? (1250mm). Electrical outputs include both analog and digital.

JX SERIES

UniMeasure JX Series transducers are low-cost linear displacement transducers for use in light to moderate duty applications in wet or dry environments.

The JX linear displacement transducers are plastic bodied and are ideal for high-volume OEM situations where cost is a major consideration and in applications where small size or low weight are of paramount importance.

Models are available in 13 measurement ranges with the shortest range of 2? (50 mm) and the longest range of 80? (2000 mm).

STANDARD SERIES

The Standard Series consists of a family of cable extensionlinear position and linear velocity transducersin a NEMA 1 (IP-40) housing. The linear transducer mechanism is housed inside of an aluminum cover and attached to an anodized aluminum baseplate with four mounting holes. The linear displacement measurement range determines which of three housing sizes is to be used. All of the possible UniMeasure analog and digital position outputs are offered in the Standard Series. The wire rope exit is perpendicular to the baseplate as shown in the photo but optional side and bottom wire rope exit locations are available. Our linear transducers also come with additional options including nylon jacketed wire ropes, dust wipers, terminal strips, non-standard potentiometers, and alternate connector locations.

V SERIES VELOCITY
Linear velocity displacement transducer that incorporates a self-generating tachometer with voltage output that eliminates the need for any external power supply.

HX SERIES

The UniMeasure HX Series consists of a family of environmentally sealed cable extension transducers for the measurement of linear position and/or linear velocity.

The HX models are appropriate for hostile environments where exposure to rain, wash down, or submersion in various liquids are concerns. With standard features such as O-ring seals in all joints, wire rope dust, debris wipers, and rigid two-point mounting systems, the cable extension transducers are perfect for any linear position or linear velocity measurements performed in an adverse environment.

The cable extension transducers are available in two basic package configurations determined by the overall measurement range. Thirty ranges from 0-2 inches to 0-2,000 inches are offered. Electrical outputs include ratiometric voltage divider, bridge circuit, 4-20 mA, 0 to 5 or 0 to 10 VDC, 10 VDC, and quadrature square wave digital. A brief description of each of the series follows.

HXLR SERIES

The UniMeasure HXLR module provides an easy method of converting linear motion to a digital output from nearly any industrial rotary encoder whether incremental or absolute.

Functionally, the module is mounted at a fixed position and the extensible wire rope of the module is attached to a moving element. As movement occurs, the wire rope is extended and rotates a shaft internal to the module which, in turn, rotates the encoder.

The module is provided with suitable adapter plate, shaft coupling and o-ring seal which simplifies attachment of the encoder. With a NEMA 4 rated encoder attached to the environmentally sealed module, the completed assembly is also NEMA 4 capable.

RTX SERIES

The UniMeasure RTX seriesrotary position transducers with analog outputare primarily for use in moderate duty applications in wet or dry environments. The chemical resistant thermoplastic case of the rotary transducer provides NEMA 4 (IP-65) ingress protection for applications where exposure to washdown, rain, oil and other liquids may occur.

The sealed case is achieved through the use of o-rings and a shaft seal. Our rotary transducers have two electrical connection options including a body mounted sealed plastic connector with mating connector or a sealed bulkhead fitting and multi conductor electrical cable of user specified length.

Alternatively, the mating connector may be ordered with electrical cable as a separate item. As an installation convenience, end mounted or radial mounted connection locations are offered. RTX rotary transducers and position sensors are available with analog voltage output from a voltage divider circuit or with 4 to 20 mA current output.

DISPLAY

The Micro-P digital panel meters are the perfect complement to UniMeasure analog series linear position transducers. With simple front panel setup, the Micro-P can be programmed to directly display the output voltage or current from the transducer or, with the input of suitable scale factors, can be programmed to display the output in engineering units such as inches, millimeters or rate values.

The Micro-C digital panel meter may be used with UniMeasure digital position transducers for the measurement of linear position or velocity. The microprocessor based Micro C features easy front panel programming, terminal strip detachable connectors on the rear face and a wide range of options to allow an exact configuration for the application.
