HCA & HCA-RA Series - Hermetically Sealed AC LVDT * * * * * * * * * Hermetically sealed, all welded Stainless steel housing MS type connector, glass sealed Axial or radial electrical connection IEC IP68 rating to 1,000 PSI [70 bars] Stroke ranges from 0.05 to 10 inches AC operation from 400Hz to 10kHz Double magnetic shielding Through bore design (HCA-RA version) DESCRIPTION The HCA and HCA-RA Series hermetically sealed LVDTs provide premium performance in harsh industrial environments. Impervious to dirt, water, steam, and corrosive liquids/vapors compatible with its materials, the HCA/HCA-RA all-welded stainless steel construction withstands external pressures up to 1,000 PSI [70 bars]. Double magnetic shielding offers excellent protection from external electromagnetic fields. The HCA/HCA-RA Series can be configured with a number of standard options. A high temperature operation version (200C) is also available (consult factory). The HCA/HCA-RA is compatible with the full line of Measurement Specialties LVDT signal conditioners. The HCA-RA version adds the convenience of a radial connector termination. This feature decreases the required installation space, while also allowing debris to harmlessly pass through the `open-ended' bore. Like in most of our LVDTs, the HCA/HCA-RA windings are vacuum impregnated with a specially formulated, high temperature, flexible resin, and the coil assembly is potted inside its housing with a two-component epoxy. This provides excellent protection against hostile environments such as high vibration and shock. Captive core option: The HCA/HCA-RA features an optional captive core design that greatly simplifies installation. The core rod and bearing assembly includes a Bronze bearing on the front end for self-alignment, while a PTFE sleeve allows lowfriction travel through the stainless steel boreliner (spool tube). The core rod and the bearing assembly are both field serviceable. Also see our other hermetic LVDT models with built-in signal conditioning: HCD (DC voltage), HCT (4-20mA, 2-wire loop) and HC-485 (RS-485 Digital Series), also available in the -RA versions. Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ MEAS) offers many other types of sensors and signal conditioners.
