HEAVY DUTY DC GAGE HEAD

These Gage heads are spring loaded LVDTs (Linear Variable Differential Transformers) with precision linear bearings and internal conditioning electronics. Operating on a nominal ±15VDC supply, the GCD Series delivers an extremely linear, low noise ±10VDC output. These robust gage heads allow measurements over stroke ranges from ±0.05 inch [±1.27mm] up to ±2 inches [±50.8mm]. The spring force is typically 9oz [255 grams] at fully compressed electrical stroke. A removable black-chromed, hardened tool steel tip is threaded (4-48UNF-2A) to the working end. Internal construction prevents the core and shaft from rotating as they move longitudinally. The integral electrical connector (welded) provides for easy installation and allows replacing a damaged cable without sacrificing the sensor. Installation and adjustment are facilitated by an external ½-20 mounting thread and the two locknuts supplied with each unit.
