Sensor Is Capable Of Operating In Harsh Condition
Penny + Giles has launched SRS880, a new rugged, sealed rotary position sensor that has been designed for position monitoring in heavy duty applications.
Rotary position sensor withstands shock
Rotary position sensor which uses proven, non-contact Hall effect technology to provide reliable and accurate rotary measurement in manufacturing where shock and vibration can occur.
Position sensors and joysticks described in detail
Free brochures include detailed technical information about high precision linear and rotary position sensors and joysticks, suitable for hydraulics, pneumatics, and process control.
With an 88mm diameter stainless steel housing and 12mm diameter shaft, SRS880 uses established technology and innovative design features to provide corrosion resistance and maximum performance under extremes of temperature, humidity, vibration and shock.
The sensor can be mounted via three M6 threaded holes in the front face or by three M6 clearance holes through the body.
Sealed to IP68M, SRS880 is suitable for use in very wet and dirty hostile environments, and like others in the SRS range it can be manufactured and despatched within three to five days of ordering.
SRS880 is a range of thirty-five models with angles from 10deg to 350deg in 10deg increments which allows the user to match the sensitivity of the system to the application for better data acquisition and closer control.
The sensor uses proven long-life hybrid potentiometer track technology providing high stability with virtually infinite resolution and a life in excess of 50 million operations.
To enable the new sensor to be integrated into existing and new equipment easily, it is supplied with an industry standard series M12 locking male connector that will mate with most proprietary sensor cables designed to IEC 60947-5-2.
A mating straight cabled socket with 2m or 5m lead lengths can be supplied with the sensor if required.
SRS880 is also available with an aluminium housing and is the first of its kind to target the more heavy duty applications.
