Cost-effective position sensors in compact package
The Sensing and Control Business of Honeywell has introduced the SR16/SR17 Series Hall Effect Vane Sensors, designed for speed- and position-detection applications.
Miniature packaging provides application versatility.
Typical applications include medical equipment control (kidney dialysis machines, drug delivery systems, hematology equipment, and medical instrumentation); ultra-low displacement sensing in robotic end-effectors, process control equipment, inspection controls, and wire bonding equipment; and high-precision force sensing, such as variable tension control, materials testing, and liquid-level measurement.
The FSL Series force sensor features a proven sensing technology that utilizes a specialized piezoresistive micro-machined silicon-sensing element.
The low-power, unamplified, non-compensated Wheatstone bridge circuit design provides inherently stable mV outputs over the 500 gram force range.
Operating temperature range is -40 to +70 degrees C (-40 to +158 degrees F).
The product meets IEC 801-2 testing requirements.
