The Sensing and Control Business of Honeywell has introduced the SR16/SR17 Series Hall Effect Vane Sensors, designed for speed- and position-detection applications.
The 1CPS is capable of operating at a typical cable span of 76m in an environment with a temperature change of +/-17C when an endspring is used.
Longer cable spans are possible depending on temperature change and installation.
The internal mechanism of the 1CPS latches on both slackened cable (push) and pulled cable, eliminating the need for two switches in certain applications.
The latching contact feature for slack cable also enhances productivity by eliminating unidentified nuisance stops (momentary opening of the closed contact) caused by an intermittent slack cable due to temperature variations or vibration.
Easy setup for proper cable tension is gained by viewing a line in the midpoint of the large cable tension window.
Rugged metal housing is a standard feature.
A single high intensity LED status indicator is available.
Gold-plated contacts are optional features.
The device is CE marked, UL and CSA tested, and has been submitted for BG approval.
