952 BlueOx
Magnetostrictive LDT
for High Shock and Vibration Areas
Gemco brand position sensing products have been known for survival in harsh industrial environments. We have taken over twenty years experience in magnetostrictive linear sensors and married it with our understanding of rugged industrial sensors to develop the BlueOx LDT as the industry’s first truly rugged magnetostrictive linear transducer.
The BlueOx LDT is lab tested and field proven to stand up to high shock and vibration. With test results of 2,000 Gs of shock and 30 Gs of random vibration without false signals or mechanical damage, the BlueOx LDT is ready to perform on the most demanding applications.
In addition to its ability to withstand shock and vibration, the BlueOx LDT is rugged in other ways. Sensing tube construction is welded stainless steel, suitable for insertion in 5000 PSI hydraulic cylinders. The electronics are enclosed behind an aluminum housing with O-ring seals for IP67 indoor applications (Type Nema 6 rating and stainless steel covers and connectors are available as a special option).
The 952 BlueOx is available with Analog, Control Pulse, Variable Pulse or RS422 Start/Stop outputs. The 952 is compatible with PLC interface cards and our 1746 LDT Interface Card. The 16 bit resolution analog output is programmable over the entire active stroke length. The units can easily be changed in the field from a 0 - 10 VDC to a 10 - 0 VDC or a 4 - 20mA to a 20 - 4mA. As an added feature, the optional differential analog output allows the distance between two magnets to be measured.
The BlueOx, with its high resolution and rugged construction, is at home in heavy duty areas such as lumber mills, steel mills, stamping plants, assembly automation, material handling, robotics and any other industry where highly accurate and reliable continuous linear position sensing is needed.
