Mississauga, ON :Wainbee Limited, a leading Canadian provider of engineered systems, motion control, and industrial automation solutions, has expanded its product portfolio with the RK-5 C contactless magnetostrictive linear position transducer from Gefran. Designed for durability and precision, the RK-5 C is engineered for demanding hydraulic applications.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Harsh Environments
The RK-5 C is built to withstand extreme conditions, operating reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 105°C and handling pressures up to 350 bars. Its vibration-resistant design (up to 25 g) and shock resistance (up to 100 g) make it ideal for heavy-duty applications such as mobile hydraulics.
Key features include:
- Patented ONDA magnetostrictive technology, ensuring long service life with no mechanical wear.
- High measurement accuracy with superior linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability.
- CAN fieldbus communication for secure data transmission, supporting CANopen DS-301 and Device Profile DS-406 for seamless integration into automation systems.
Enhanced Performance and Flexibility
The transducer offers rapid sampling (1 ms), displacement speeds up to 10 m/s, and robust electrical insulation (500V DC). Additional benefits include low power consumption (1 W), protection against polarity inversion, and a compact, modular design for easy installation.
