KINAX® WT717

Transmitter with contactless, capacitive scanning system for detecting the angular position of a shaft.

A DC signal of 4..20mA, which is proportional to the measured value, is available at the measuring output. Due to its robust design, it is preferably used in large machinery and shipbuilding, in transport vehicle construction and in the chemical industry.

Features

• ☆ Patented contactless capacitive system, wear-free

• ☆ Measuring range, direction of rotation, characteristics, output changeover and other functions can be programmed via PC: facilitates planning and project work, short lead times, minimal inventory

• ☆ Angle of rotation measuring range: 0°…10° to 0°…50° or 0°…50° to 0°…350°

• ☆ Measurement output (measuring/supply circuit) utilizes 2-wire connection (4 to 20 mA signal)

• ☆ Simulation of measured value allows to test subsequent control circuits, control loops or measuring circuits during installation

• ☆ Display of present measurands and graphical representation on screen for longer time periods

• ☆ Adjustment of mechanical position and fine adjustment of the analog output, zero point and span may be set independently

• ☆ Programmable output characteristics: linear, V-characteristic or freely selectable linearization curve

• ☆ Shaft can be turned through full, no damage occurs even if the upper limit value of the measuring range is exceeded

• ☆ Serial interface

• ☆ Permissible static load on the shaft: max. 1000 N (radial), max. 500 N (axial)

• ☆ Surface mounting device in rugged housing (IP67): vibration and shock resistant

• Accessories

• ☆ Configuration software 2W2

Applications

The robust housing has made this unit ideal for machines, ship building, transport, construction of vehicles and in the chemical industry.
