Model TR1-TRU-TRAC™ Linear Measurement Encoder

Model TR1-TRU-TRAC™ Linear Measurement Encoder
Description N/A The Linear Cable Encoder (LCE) provides a low cost alternative for obtaining accurate linear measurements. As opposed to typical rotary shaft style encoders, the LCE has a retractable stainless steel cable, allowing for numerous measuring configurations. You can place the LCE away from harsh environmental conditions, while still providing precise measurements, giving the LCE an outstanding advantage over shaft-style encoders. Installation is easy with a variety of cable exit directions, and perfect parallel alignment is no longer necessary. The heart of the LCE is the popular Cube Accu-Coder™, the original cube style encoder. The LCE provides a reliable digital pulse train in either single channel or quadrature format, with resolutions down to 0.002" per cycle. The small overall size, a variety of resolutions, and many different connector types, makes the versatility of the LCE unbeatable. N/A Available in wire lengths from one meter to 42.5 meters, the LCX draw wire is compatible with the following 58 mm shafted encoders with clamping flange: absolute encoder Model A58SE, which offers EtherNet/IP™, EtherCAT®, and PROFINET® communication protocols; Model A58SB, an absolute bus encoder that offers CANopen®, CAN SAE J1939, or SSI communication protocols with stainless and IP69K options available; Model 758, a high-performance incremental encoder; and the Model 858S, a stainless steel incremental encoder. Choose the right encoder and wire length for your application.

Choose the right encoder and wire length for your application. N/A With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute and a wide variety of configuration options, the TR1 Tru-Trac™ is the versatile solution for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces in almost any application. An integrated encoder and spring-loaded measuring wheel assembly available in one unit, the TR1 is both easy-to-use and compact. Plus, the TR1 housing is a durable, conductive composite material that will eliminate static build up. Its spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. And the threaded shaft on the pivot axis is easily reversible in the field, providing mounting access from either side. The TR1 is your solution for a compact, linear encoder.
