Balluff introduces the first of its new Micropulse Generation 7 linear position transducers, featuring improved measurement and environmental specifications, longer lengths, and more flexible setup than previous models. Debuting in the analog rod style housing, Generation 7 is available in two versions, Micropulse and Micropulse Plus. Micropulse, the base offering, is fully backward compatible to Balluff’s Generation 5 products, yet delivers better measurement performance and environmental ratings. The advanced version, Micropulse Plus, sets a new standard for flexible output scaling and configuration using a PC interface.Improved performance includes:• Stroke lengths to 300”• Maximum non-linearity cut in half• ±50 µm for nominal strokes • ±0.01% of full scale for 500mm to 5500mm• ±0.02% of full scale from 5501mm to 7600mm • Shock rating improved 50% to 150g• Vibration rating increased 67% to 20g• EMC severity • Static, RF, burst, and line noise: Level 3• Surge: Level 2 • Magnetic field immunity: Level 4 • Housing protection IP68 for pre-wired cables/IP67 for connector models• Stroke lengths to 300” • Maximum non-linearity cut in half * ±50 µm for nominal strokes < 500mm * ±0.01% of full scale for 500mm to 5500mm * ±0.02% of full scale from 5501mm to 7600mm • Shock rating improved 50% to 150g • Vibration rating increased 67% to 20g • EMC severity * Static, RF, burst, and line noise: Level 3 * Surge: Level 2 * Magnetic field immunity: Level 4
