LENGTH SENSOR CONVERSION BRACKET WITH 6-PIN MS CONNECTOR

ADAPTS APPROPRIATE ZBG and ZBH ROTARY PULSE GENERATOR TO LENGTH MEASUREMENT

DESCRIPTION

This conversion bracket allows the customer to assemble a custom length

sensor by purchasing the following items separately.

1. Length Sensor Conversion Bracket (P/N LSCB1000)
2. An encoder with appropriate connector, PPR and output type.
3. One or two measuring wheels. Install OF & OK measuring wheels with set
screw hub facing encoder shaft (as shown). Apply thread locking material to
wheel set screw threads during installation to the encoder shaft.
4. Hinge Clamp Assembly (P/N LSAHC001)

Note: To complete installation, insure guards, shields or other devices are in
place to protect personnel from rotating equipment.

The tubular arm length of this bracket, related to the wheel axis center-line of

the encoder is 6.8" similar to the length sensors. The 10´ long, 4-wire, shielded
cable with 6-pin MS connector (included with conversion bracket) has the same
color coding as described for the encoder cable P/N CCARPG01. Screws for
mounting the conversion bracket are included.

LENGTH SENSOR MEASUREMENT ACCURACY

Factors which affect measurement accuracy include Measuring Wheel

accuracy and wear, and material conditions. Ideally, materials which are hard,
thin and strong provide good readings, conversely, soft, thick and elastic
materials can present problems in obtaining true readings. The great majority of
these situations, where this effect is consistant, can be compensated for by
applying a multiplier to the quadrature output pulse train so as to obtain a
corrected measurement. Counter or Rate Indicators with “input scaling” can
compensate for Measuring Wheel wear and material elastic and compliance
errors. In addition, English/Metric conversions may also be accomplished (See
RLC catalog for more information)

DESCRIPTION

MODEL NO.

When the desired output of a length sensor and wheel combination is either in feet or inch units, selection

of the proper combination is relatively straight forward. For example, with a 1-foot wheel circumference, a
1 PPR Rotary Pulse Generator will deliver 1 pulse/ft, 12 PPR would deliver 12 pulses/ft (1 pulse/inch); 100
PPR would yield 100 pulses/ft; and 120 PPR would permit measuring to 1/10th of an inch (1/120th of a foot).
