955LC BRIK
Magnetostrictive LDT
In A Low Profile Package
The 955LC BRIK is an accurate, programmable zero
and span, non-contact linear position sensor in an
economical, low profi le package. The sensor utilizes our
fi eld proven magnetostrictive technology to give absolute
position, repeatable to .01% of the sensing distance.
The 955LC is a cost effective linear sensing solution,
designed for the OEM market.
The transducer can be ordered with 0-10 VDC or
4-20mA. The unit can easily be re-scaled and changed
from a 0-10 VDC to a 10-0 VDC or 4-20mA to a
20-4mA using programming module 955-1412. All units
are provided with a standard quick disconnect connector.
The streamlined anodized aluminum extrusion houses
the sensing element and electronics. The magnet slide
moves over the sensing element that determines the
position and converts it to a readable output.
The 955LC BRIK is a self-contained unit and does not
have a can or head assembly. All of the electronics are
incorporated in the transducer which is less than one
inch tall. Units can be ordered in span lengths up to 180
inches long in 0.1 inch increments. The magnet slide is
designed to move effortlessly along the transducer in
guide tracks.
A variety of hardware is available for attaching the
magnet slide to the moving portion of the process. The
transducer can be mounted vertically or horizontally
using mounting feet which slide on the lower part of
the extrusion and clamp down when tightened. This
packaging provides a compact and easy method of
mounting for OEM machine builders.
The 955LC BRIK is designed for OEM applications
where economical continuous feedback is necessary.
The sensor can be a cost effective replacement to limit
switches, proximity sensors, linear potentiometers and
LVDT’s. Applications include presses, blow molding,
injection molding, extrusion, roll positioning, dancer
control and many more.
