GCD SERIES DC Operated Gage Heads SPECIFICATIONS        Hermetically sealed housing 25 µ-inch [0.6 µm] repeatability IEC IP68 rating to 1,000 PSI [70 bars] Long strokes up to ±2 inches Hardened tool steel contact tip High side load resistance Long cycle life The GCD Series heavy-duty DC operated gage heads enable high performance in environments containing moisture, dirt, and fluid contaminants. These Gage heads are spring loaded LVDTs (Linear Variable Differential Transformers) with precision linear bearings and internal conditioning electronics. Operating on a nominal ±15VDC supply, the GCD Series delivers an extremely linear, low noise ±10VDC output. FEATURES        All-welded stainless steel construction Resistant to harsh environments MS type connector (MIL-C-5015) Long cycle life CE compliant Calibration certificate supplied with each unit Air extend/spring retract available (Consult factory) APPLICATIONS      Factory automation Industrial printing equipment Steel mills Metal thickness gaging Environments requiring hermetically sealed transducers  In-process measurements (feedback loop with PLC or CNC controller) SENSOR SOLUTIONS /// GCD Series Rev. 7 These robust gage heads allow measurements over stroke ranges from ±0.05 inch [±1.27mm] up to ±2 inches [±50.8mm]. The spring force is typically 9oz [255 grams] at fully compressed electrical stroke. A removable black-chromed, hardened tool steel tip is threaded (4-48UNF-2A) to the working end. Internal construction prevents the core and shaft from rotating as they move longitudinally. The integral electrical connector (welded) provides for easy installation and allows replacing a damaged cable without sacrificing the sensor. Installation and adjustment are facilitated by an external ½-20 mounting thread and the two locknuts supplied with each unit. Like in most of our LVDTs, the GCD windings are vacuum impregnated with a specially formulated, high temperature, flexible resin, and the coil assembly is potted inside its housing with a two-component epoxy. This provides excellent protection against hostile environments such as high vibration and shock. The ruggedness, long life cycle, and very high reliability of the GCD Series provide a low cost of ownership over the life of the equipment onto which they are installed. The one-piece front end (barrel which contains the bearing assembly), machined from solid stainless steel bar, coupled with a bronze bushing, has far greater resistance to bending forces and side loads compared to other designs. This is particularly important on the longer stroke versions; it reduces the common risk of probe damage/bending during installation or maintenance of industrial equipment. The GCD Series designs also require fewer parts and weld joints, thereby increasing overall structural integrity and reliability 07/2017 Page 1 GCD SERIES DC Operated Gage Heads PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS Parameter Stroke/gaging range Sensitivity, volts/inch Input voltage Input current Output at stroke ends Non-linearity Repeatability Stability Frequency response (dynamic) GCD-050 GCD-125 GCD-250 GCD-500 GCD-1000 GCD-2000 ±0.050 [1.27] ±0.125 [3.17] ±0.25 [6.35] ±0.50 [12.7] ±1.0 [25.4] ±2.0 [50.8] 200 80 40 20 10 5 +/-15VDC 30mA, maximum +/-10VDC (Output is positive when the core is displaced from null towards the connector) ±0.25% of FR, maximum 25 µ-inch [0.6 µm] 0.125% of FSO after warm up 15Hz, maximum ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS & MATERIALS Operating temperature Survival temperature Shock survival Vibration tolerance Housing material Electrical connector IEC 60529 rating +32°F to +160°F [0°C to 70°C] -65°F to +200°F [-55°C to 95°C] 250 g (11ms half-sine) 10 g up to 2kHz AISI 400 Series stainless steel 6-pin MS type connector (MIL-C-5015) IP68 to 1,000 PSI [70 bars] with use of proper mating connector plug Notes: All values are nominal unless otherwise noted Dimensions are in inch [mm] unless otherwise noted FR: Full Range is the stroke range, end to end; FR=2xS for ±S stroke range FSO (Full Scale Output): Largest absolute value of the outputs measured at the ends of the range WIRING INFORMATION A through F: Connector pin assignments SENSOR SOLUTIONS /// GCD Series Rev. 7 07/2017 Page 2 GCD SERIES DC Operated Gage Heads MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS Parameter Stroke/gaging range Pre-travel Over-travel (minimum) Main body length “A” Overall body length “B” Plunger length “C” (fully extended) Weight, Ounce Weight, Gram Spring force GCD-050 ±0.050 [1.27] 0.20 [5.1] 0.39 [9.90] 2.66 [67.6] 4.02 [102.1] GCD-125 ±0.125 [3.17] 0.23 [5.8] 0.25 [6.4] 3.5 [88.9] 4.87 [123.7] GCD-250 ±0.25 [6.35] 0.05 [1.3] 0.20 [5.1] 4.37 [111.0] 5.74 [145.8] GCD-500 ±0.5 [12.7] 0.20 [5.1] 1.0 [25.4] 6.06 [153.9] 9.05 [229.9] GCD-1000 ±1 [25.4] 0.14 [3.6] 0.15 [3.81] 8.31 [211.1] 11.29 [286.8] GCD-2000 ±2 [50.8] 0.10 [2.5] 0.00 [0.0] 11.63 [295.4] 17.12 [434.8] 5.08 [129.0] 2.5 oz 71 G 5.90 [149.9] 6.77 [172.0] 11.53 [292.9] 13.76 [349.5] 3.3oz 3.5 oz 5.5 oz 8.0 oz 93 G 100 G 156 G 227 G Typically 9oz [255 grams] at fully compressed electrical stroke 21.67 [550.4] 14.0 oz 397 G REPLACEMENT/OPTIONAL CONTACT TIPS Dimensions are in inch [mm] SENSOR SOLUTIONS /// GCD Series Rev. 7 07/2017 Page 3 GCD SERIES DC Operated Gage Heads ORDERING INFORMATION Description ±0.050 inch gage head ±0.125 inch gage head ±0.25 inch gage head ±0.5 inch gage head ±1 inch gage head ±2 inch gage head Model GCD 050 GCD 125 GCD 250 GCD 500 GCD 1000 GCD 2000 Part Number 02350509-000 02350510-000 02350511-000 02350512-000 02350513-000 03350159-000 All GC Series XXXXXXXX-150 PSD 40-15 PT06A-10-6S(SR) GCD to Stripped/Tinned Contact Tip 2 Contact Tip 3 Contact Tip 4 Contact Tip 5 Contact Tip 6 Contact Tip 7 Contact Tip 8 Contact Tip 9 Contact Tip 10 02291339-000 62101011-000 04290583-000 67010005-000 67010006-000 67010002-000 67010007-000 67010008-000 67010009-000 67010010-000 67010001-000 67010011-000 OPTIONS Air extend/spring retract gage head (Consult factory) ACCESSORIES Dual rail DC power supply (±15VDC) Mating connector kit Cable with wired mating connector (1) Replacement contact tips (1) Cables are shielded, 10 foot long, and rated 80°C [176°F] operating.
