RC Model Sensors – Reflectance Compensated

You are here: Home / Philtec Products / RC Model Sensors – Reflectance Compensated

RC models are good for single axis measurements as well as for measurements to objects moving past the sensor.

Reflectance Compensated RC Type Sensor
Philtec Analog RC Model Sensor

RC sensors have a positive rising slope with increasing displacement. Unlike the D models, they are single valued without the near side/far side/optical peak regions and do not need to be calibrated to the target surface. These sensors are suitable for measurement applications involving static, moving or rotating targets such as discs and shafts, or for in-process parts gaging.

Typical RC Model
  • DC-20 KHz is standard
  • DC-200 KHz or higher is optional
  • DC-100 Hz provides best resolution

Standard analog units include:

  • Electronics with 0 to +5 VDC output
  • 3 foot long fiberoptic cable
