PT9600 - Description

The PT9600 Cable Actuated Encoder Reel stands as a revolutionary module in the realm of linear position measurement, offering unparalleled versatility and precision. Designed to adapt any rotary encoder into a linear position sensor, this device enables accurate long-range measurements up to 550 inches (14 meters), catering to a wide array of industrial applications. The system's modularity allows users to specify the stroke range, cable tension, and encoder mounting style to precisely match their operational needs, providing a seamless integration process.

This encoder reel is characterized by its motion conversion ratio of 12.6 inches per turn, with accuracy levels of the lesser of ±0.02% full scale or ±0.04% of the measurement ±1/2 pulse, ensuring high precision in tracking and positioning tasks. It boasts repeatability of ±0.02% of measurement ±1/2 pulse, further emphasizing its reliability in repetitive applications. The PT9600 is compatible with a variety of measuring cable options and offers module material choices of powder-painted aluminum or stainless steel, coupled with an aluminum flexible encoder coupling.

Designed for durability and performance, the PT9600 can withstand operating temperatures from -40° to 200°F (-40° to 90°C), making it suitable for challenging environments. With options for customizing the encoder coupling and the possibility of factory-supplied encoders, this device represents a comprehensive solution for converting rotary motion into precise linear measurements.

VLS Option

The PT9600 can be equipped with the Celesco Velocity Limiting System (VLS) for the PT9000 Series, limiting cable retraction speed to 40-55 inches/second (single spring) or 40-80 inches/second (dual spring), preventing damage from accidental releases. Ideal for mobile applications, it reduces downtime from mishandling or failures.
