Rotary/Angular Position

Rotary/Angular Position Sensor

Sentech is pleased to announce a new range of competitively priced Hall Effect Rotary Position sensors providing angular position information for various control applications.

A magnetically biased, Hall-effect integrated circuit (IC) senses rotary movement of the actuator shaft over a set operating range. Rotation of the actuator shaft changes the IC’s position relative to the magnets position, the resulting change in flux density is converted into a linear output.

The Solid-state Hall-effect technology provides non-contact operation, long service life and a low torque actuation making them ideal for throttle speed, foot pedal, lift, shuttle, tilt and steering position and control applications in a variety of industries.

Features

Ultra Long-Life 50 million cycles
Eight Possible Operating Ranges (50°, 60°, 70°, 90°, 120°, 180°, 270° and 360°)
Tolerant to Over Travel
Maximum ESD Sensitivity of +/-7kV
Cost Effective
Linearity of 2% or less
Offset and gain control can be specified by the customer within practical constraints

Applications

Industrial Instrumentation
Material Handling
Marine
Truck
Off Road

Digital MPU

Xensor pioneered the use of custom IC to digitize the analog signal generated by a magnetic sensor, eliminating the use of expensive hybrid chips or backup electronic circuitry.

Digimag Digital Magnetic Pickups revolutionized the use of magnetic sensors for the computer peripherals industry, where low cost and compact design count.

Providing a digital pulse output sensing a change from non-magnetic to magnetic material moving past the pole piece. The rise-fall times and amplitude of the output pulse is independent of the speed of the magnetic discontinuity. The maximum rise time is 1,000 nanoseconds; the maximum fall time is 50 nanoseconds.

Features

Computing
High-speed counting
Positioning
Tachometry
Synchronization
Flow metering
Machine Control

Applications

Wide Ranging application from component flexibility
Constant amplitude digital output
Positive and negative going logic signals
Protection against target input conditions
Operate throughout a wide range of supply voltages
Air gap and surface speed combinations of 0.010” at 20 IPS to 0.075” at 2500 IPS
