SST Series

(Short Stroke Linear Encoder)

Features:

The SST model is a fully enclosed, short stroke linear encoder offering resolutions of .000050”, .0001”, .001mm, and .002 mm (when used with external 4X circuitry). Designed for applications requiring a simple mechanical interface, Also, the SST model is available with a spring loaded probe and a ball tip; this arrangement allows the user to install and align the SST model in a matter of minutes. In its standard configuration, the SST model is dust resistant, making it suitable for use in relatively clean environments such as a semiconductor wafer processing and general metrology applications. For the harsh environments imposed by machine tool and process control applications, the SST model is available in a splash resistant configuration. The SST model’s complementary TTL compatible outputs provide high immunity to ambient noise and are easily interfaced to multiplication circuits and conventional up/down logic. An optional zero reference output can be specified at the beginning or end of the travel or at 1” intervals throughout the stroke length.
