New Low Ripple DC Tachometers from Servo-Tek
Servo-Tek Tach Generators provide a convenient means of converting rotational speed into an isolated analog voltage signal suitable for remote indication and control applications. Combining high accuracy with low driving torque, Servo-Tek tach generators are ideal for use in servo systems. |
POSITAL introduces encoders and inclinometers with J1939 interface
POSITAL's versatile inclinometers and absolute rotary encoders are now available with J1939 communications interfaces. (The J1939 protocol was developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers for use in heavy vehicles such as trucks, buses, fire trucks and construction machinery. The protocol facilitates quick and reliable communications between sensors, actuators and electronic control systems.) |
9960 Position Sensor Offers More Communication Options and Expanded Environmental Operation
BEI Sensors announces expanded input/output electrical options and a new IP69K rating on the highly configurable 9960 series. With the new electrical options, the 9960 can communicate with a wider range of controllers and is now capable of accepting a wide range of input voltages. Validated to key aspects of ISO-7637-2 our 9360 Series is also compatible with the harsh transients found in vehicle battery system. |
Non-Contact Angle Sensors with Redundant Outputs
Novotechnik, U.S. introduces the RSC3200 Series of Hall effect angle sensors designed for use in harsh environments and high reliability applications with redundant outputs and immunity to adverse environmental effects. Operating temperature range of the RSC3200 Series is -40 to +125 °C, withstands shock and vibration up to 50 g and 20 g respectively. Protected from ingress of dust and humidity to IP 69K. |
Thru-Hollow Shaft Encoders - Reliable Potentiometer Alternatives
Geared potentiometers are used in various applications where the positioning feedback of slow moving shafts is required. These potentiometers sometimes come with variable gear ratios to increase the number of revolutions they can measure. The mechanical complexity of these contact based potentiometric systems have drawbacks in terms of flexibility and reliability. |
Improved CANopen OpticalEncoder
Like all POSITAL optical encoders, the improved CANopen models use a tried and tested optoelectronic scanning method to record positional values. The singleturnmechanism provides a resolution of up to 16 bit per revolution and the multiturn units register a maxi-mum of 16,384 revolutions (14 bit), thereby covering an overall measuring range of 30 bit. |
Customize position sensor output with the Programmable Hall Device (PHD)
BEI Sensors introduces the Programmable Hall Device (PHD), an easy way to take control of customizing the output of BEI Hall effect sensors. This compact programming unit interfaces between a PC and BEI Hall effect sensors, and provides users with the ability to field program output functions that meet specific requirements. |
POSITAL Inclinometers for accurate positioning
Modern devices used in healthcare demand advanced technology for precise positioning. POSITAL can ensure absolute positioning through a large portfolio of highly accurate and compact sensors. |
Redesigned Website Offers Technological Capabilities
Mitutoyo America Corporation, the world's largest provider of metrology solutions, announces the launch of a redesigned website. This new, value-added redesign supersedes the last update, undertaken in 2006, with a multitude of unique website features which will make browsing the Mitutoyo site much more productive and less time consuming. |
POSITAL Heavy Duty Magnetic Rotary Encoder
This multiturn absolute rotary encoder boasts a host of features that promises robustness against outdoor environments, making it ideal for use in mobile machinery. Compared to the other existing POSITAL magnetic rotary encoders, it has an enhanced housing and supports higher shaft loads. |
