Company Background Position Transducers S021B(A) LEADING THE WAY IN POSITION MEASUREMENT SpaceAge Control, Inc. was established

INTRODUCTION Company Background Position Transducers S021B S021B(A) LEADING THE WAY IN POSITION MEASUREMENT SpaceAge Control, Inc. was established in 1968 to design, develop, and manufacture pilot protection devices in support of space-based and high-performance test aircraft programs. In 1970, the company was awarded a NASA contract to produce precision, small-format position transducers for aircraft flight control testing. The successful completion of this contract led to the development and production of a complete line of innovative, small-size position transducers. Through the 1970's and 1980's, virtually all U.S., Canadian, and European aerospace companies used the company's position transducers in their research, development, and test activities. Often, these products were designed and manufactured to custom specifications. As a result of these efforts, SpaceAge Control's quality system met the Mil-Q9858A quality system requirement. Today, the SpaceAge Control quality system meets the ISO 9001 quality standard. In 1989, a single auto racing team began using these position transducers to monitor throttle movement and suspension travel. This use resulted in the adoption of the products in a broad range of auto test and measurement projects including anthropomorphic dummy instrumentation, impact testing, and control verification. SpaceAge Control, Inc. has also leveraged its electro-mechanical core technologies to air data products and automotive electrical test equipment. Today, SpaceAge Control, Inc. products benefit over 600 customers in 20 industries and in over 30 countries. Five of the world's seven largest auto manufacturing companies and the world's seven largest aerospace companies use SpaceAge Control, Inc. products. The products have been used on diverse applications such as off-road heavy equipment, manned space vehicles, and Formula 1/Indy race cars.

SpaceAge Control, Inc. position transducers consist of a stainless steel extension cable wound on a threaded drum that is coupled to a precision sensor. Operationally, the position transducer is mounted in a fixed position and the extension cable is attached to a moving object. The axes of movement for the extension cable and moving object are aligned with each other. As movement occurs, the cable extracts and retracts. An internal spring maintains tension on the cable. The threaded drum rotates a precision sensor that produces an electrical output proportional to the cable travel. The output is measured to reflect the position, direction, or rate of motion of the moving object. 4 5 1 2 3 WHY USE SPACEAGE CONTROL POSITION TRANSDUCERS There are many choices to make when selecting a position transducer for a specific application. Should the device be a contact or non-contact type? What accuracy is required? How durable should it be? What environmental specifications should it meet? What mounting requirements are there? Without knowing all details about an application, it is difficult to make recommendations for what applications are bestsuited for SpaceAge Control position transducers. Nevertheless, in general, SpaceAge Control position transducers should be used for applications requiring: w w w w w w w w small size light weight flexible mounting non-straightline motion monitoring up to 0.0001-inch (0.025-mm) resolution up to ±0.025% accuracy robust shock and vibration performance long-life Keep in mind that nearly 20% of our products are produced to precise customer specifications.
