New sensors utilise magnetic Hall Effect (HE) technology which gives reliability even in harsh environments.
New from Bourns is news of the expansion of its line of non-contacting rotary position sensors with two new models. Designed to help increase the product lifespan and reliability of applications that operate in rugged environments, the new model AMS22U and model AMM20B utilize magnetic Hall Effect (HE) technology that helps increase operational life and reliability even in harsh environments.
The non-contacting rotary position sensors offer an ideal solution for applications such as patient platform position feedback, pneumatic control valve position feedback, actuator motor position feedback, lift/shuttle suspension systems, and tilt control feedback. These applications are used in a wide range of industrial, commercial, medical, and automotive applications, says the company.
The model AMS22U is a single-turn, non-contacting rotary position sensor that offers a rotational life of up to 100 million cycles for superior longevity and reliability. The new sensor features a 1/8-inch shaft supported by dual ball bearings and a factory programmable electrical angle from 10 to 360 degrees.
The model AMM20B is a multi-turn, non-contacting rotary position sensor that features a rotational life of up to 50 million cycles, depending on the product and particular application. The new sensor features a slim profile package for space constrained applications, 12-bit resolution and a factory programmable electrical angle from 1080 to 3600 degrees.
