Model 0125-0001 from the Series 100 Linear Velocity Transducers by Trans-Tek, Inc. is designed for accurate measurement of linear velocity. It features a self-generating DC voltage output, eliminating the need for external excitation. The output voltage is directly proportional to the velocity of the moving magnet core, making it suitable for applications such as seismology, hydraulic ram speed, and drilling rate measurement. The transducer operates within a working range of 16.5 inches (412 mm) and has a usable range of 18.5 inches (470 mm). It provides a nominal output sensitivity of 175 mV/in/sec (7 mV/mm/sec) and has an electrical impedance of 29000 Ohms when the coils are connected in series. The frequency response is rated at 5.1 Hz. The operating temperature range for this model is between -50¬8F to +200¬8F (-46¬8C to +93¬8C). The transducer's housing can be secured using a split block or clamping arrangement, and it is recommended to avoid using set screws to prevent internal damage. Additionally, the use of non-magnetic stainless steel core extension rods is advised to ensure full operational range.
The Series 100 Linear Velocity Transducers provide a simple yet accurate means of measuring linear velocity. They consist of high coercive force permanent magnet cores which induce sizable DC voltage while moving concentrically within shielded coils. The basic design permits operation without external excitation while the generated output voltage varies linearly with core (magnet) velocity. These transducers are ideal for seismology, hydraulic ram speed, drilling rate, and any other application where an instantaneous velocity measurement is required.
