New Series R Rotary Transducers Offer Maximum Flexibility and Reliability



Overview
The Series R rotary transducer gives precision rotational measurements from 1 to 150 turns. It is a ultra-rugged device that utilizes state-of-the-art ThreadSensor(TM) technology allowing accurate and repeatable measurements in a compact package.

The Series R is aimed at rotational sensing with high life-cycle and low cost requirements in harsh environments. Applications include replacements for potentiometers, encoders, resolvers, synchros and various other industrial rotational sensor technologies. Dual and quad redundancy features are also available in the same miniature package for fail-safe or mission critical applications
