The modular range offers stroke options of 6.4 and 10.2m with a variety of electrical interfaces, including CANbus, voltage and current output, in addition to a choice of plastic-hybrid potentiometer sensing or flange-mounted encoder.
With its glass-filled polycarbonate housing the SK series features IP67 environmental rating and dimensions of 165 x 109 x 139mm. With maximum cable velocity of 1.5m/s and acceleration to 5g, the sensor has a life rating in excess of 250,000 cycles and operating temperature range from -40 to +85°C.
Four of the models in the SK series feature Celesco’s plastic-hybrid precision potentiometer that is said to offer accuracy of 0.35% FS and repeatability of 0.05% FS. These models comprise the SKD with a user selectable 4 to 20mA or 0 to 10Vdc output; the SK1 with a voltage divider output; the SKH-CAN with a CANopen interface, and the SKJ-CAN with CANbus SAE J1939. A fifth model, the SK6-Encoder offers the possibility to incorporate any standard 2½in square flange or 58mm synchro-flange encoder.
