Temperature transmitter used in hazardous areas
Foundation Fieldbus temperature transmitter for hazardous areas is a head mounted device that can be installed into an existing enclosure providing the opportunity for cost savings.
The component package is small compared with other sensing technologies and the sensors can be specified with either a digital switching or analogue output.
Hamlin has introduced a new sensor part numbering system which makes it easy to specify switching sensitivity, cable length and connector type when ordering.
The Hall effect range from Hamlin includes two sizes of vane and flange sensors and a geartooth sensor.
They will complement the company's extensive reed sensor product base to enable it to provide more options for a wider range of sensing applications.
Hamlin's new sensors can be installed in the harshest environments where the none-contact sensing element will provide an almost infinite number of operations.
The range is particularly durable, being shock resistant to 150g at 11 ms, 1/2 sine wave, and vibration resistant to 50G at 50 - 2,000 Hz.
The sensors also incorporate reverse and overload protection and built in temperature compensation.
Simon Pitkin, from Hamlin's global marketing department, said: "We are well known for designing and manufacturing highly reliable reed switch sensor solutions.
We have used this expertise, and our new agreement with Micronas, to increase our range of standard products and our ability to develop custom sensor solutions so we can offer our customers more choice." Hamlin Electronics Europe Limited, based in Diss, Norfolk, UK, is part of the Key Automotive Group and was founded in 1949.
It specialises in using magnetic sensing technologies such as reed switch and Hall effect in the design and manufacture of sensors for the automotive, industrial and consumer markets.
It employs more than 1,500 people and has manufacturing and sales operations in England, France, Mexico, Germany and the United States.
