MC1 is a well-proven linear sensor that has:

• An accuracy of 0.05% with calibration.
• A  long-life wheel
• Low contact pressure
• Web drift tracking
• Vibration damping
• Re-calibration support
• Simple mounting and connection

Contact weight: 200g

Contact pressure: 4 gm/mm sq

Diameter: 300mm

Counts: 3 per rotation

Pulses per metre: 10

Accuracy: +/- 0.15%

Accuracy with calibration factor (marked on wheel): +/-0.05%

Life expectancy of wheel: 3 years normal wear and tear. To maintain best calibration, return unit for re-calibration every 2 years.

Power: 5 mA, 5 to 30 VDC

Count signal: 1 to 50 mA, 5 to 30 VDC

Lifted signal: 1 to 50 mA, 5 to 30 VDC

MC1 advantages:

• Does not suffer with loss of accuracy from harmonic vibration in the vertical plane.
• Ultra low friction bearings remove “drag”.
• High friction coating removes slip between wheel and material.
• Universal joint allows horizontal tracking.
• Application includes almost all web delivered materials such as paper, cloth and foil.
• Vertical rest position if sensor is not required or if sensor is undergoing maintenance.
• Signal from sensor to indicate that wheel is in vertical rest position.
• Wheel of sufficient diameter to clear web-up bars.
• Calibration figure clearly indicated on the wheel.
