The ASI Astrosystems Resolver-Based Position Transducers are bi-directional, continuous rotation devices that measure full 360° rotation. Many applications require more than one turn to drive the element being monitored, e.g. lead screw, rack and pinion, pulley, or belt driven conveyor.
To determine absolute position without counting turns. Astrosystems have manufactured multiturn transducers. They contain two-geared resolvers using instrument class precision gears in one of four ratios: 1:10, 36, 64, or 100.
For multiturn applications where the required resolution over the total travel is 12 bits or less, a transducer containing a single resolver with built-in gear reducer is often sufficient.
Transducer size refers to housing diameter expressed in tenths of an inch. All Astrosystems transducers contain size 11 stainless steel resolvers.
The ASI Astrosystems Resolver-Based Position Transducers can be used in applications that require long term operation in equipment subjected to saltwater or fresh water operation.
The explosion-proof transducers comply with the following standards: NEC - CL I, Group D and CL II, Group E, F, G; ULSTD - 886 CL II; CSASTD - C2.2 No. 30 (1970).
Radiation resistant transducers for nuclear applications are designed to withstand 10
9 rads total dosage (gamma equivalent approximately 2 x 10
18 gamma photons/cm
2). Applications include fuel rod positioning, manipulator control, waste handling, valve monitoring, gamma scanners, and x-ray welding. The size 23 transducers have built-in gear ratios of 1:1, 10, 36, 64, and 100 for multiturn or geared single turn applications.
The HST-26A ASI Astrosystems Single Turn Resolver-Based Position Transducer may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
