Mississauga, ON :Wainbee Limited, a leading Canadian provider of engineered systems, motion control, industrial filtration, and automation solutions, continues to expand its portfolio with the addition of the RK-5 C contactless magnetostrictive linear position transducer from Gefran.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Demanding Applications
Designed for integration into oil hydraulic cylinders, the RK-5 C is a vibration-resistant, flange-mounted transducer that delivers precise speed and displacement measurements. Its versatile cursor configurations ensure high installation flexibility while maintaining compatibility with standard cylinder specifications.
Key performance features include exceptional linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability, making it ideal for industrial applications requiring high accuracy and durability.
Patented ONDA Technology Enhances Reliability
The RK-5 C incorporates Gefran’s patented ONDA magnetostrictive technology, which eliminates mechanical wear by operating without electrical contact on the cursor. This contactless design ensures long service life, even in harsh conditions.
The transducer is built to withstand:
- Extreme temperatures (-40°C to 105°C)
- High pressure (up to 350 bar)
- Intense vibration (up to 25 g)
- Mechanical shock (up to 100 g)
These rugged specifications make it well-suited for mobile hydraulics and other heavy-duty industrial applications.
Advanced Communication and Control Integration
The RK-5 C utilizes the CAN fieldbus communication system, ensuring fast, secure data transmission. It also supports CANopen DS-301 and Device Profile DS-406, enabling seamless integration into automation and control systems.
