Gemco 955A BRIK Gen III
The 955A BRIK Gen III is an accurate
programmable, auto-tuning, non-contact, linear
displacement transducer in an economical, low
profi le package. The transducer utilizes our fi eld
proven magnetostrictive technology to give absolute
position, repeatable to .006% of the programmable
sensing distance.
The streamlined anodized aluminum extrusion
houses the sensing element and electronics. The
magnet moves over the sensing element that
determines the position and converts it to an analog
output. It can be ordered with a 0 to 10 VDC or
4 to 20mA output.
The 955A BRIK Gen III has a few truly unique
features. The fi rst one is the LDT’s auto-tuning
capability, the ability to sense a magnet other than
the standard slide magnet and adjust its signal
strength accordingly. Another feature is the analog
output is programmable over the entire active
stroke length. The active stroke area of the LDT
lies between the Null and Dead zones. There is
a diagnostic LED located at the connector end of
the probe that remains green while a good magnet
signal is present and when the magnet is in the
programmed stroke area. The LED turns yellow
when the magnet is out of the programmed active
range, but still within the active stroke area. The
LED turns red and the output goes to 0 volts on
voltage output units, or 4mA on current output
units when there is no magnet present or when the
magnet is out of the sensing area.
The unit can easily be changed in the fi eld from a
0 - 10 VDC to a 10 - 0 VDC or 4 - 20mA to a
20 - 4mA . As an added feature, the optional
differential analog output allows the distance
between two magnets to be measured.
The 955A BRIK is designed for 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.
