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.
Force sensor combines accuracy and robustness
The new, improved FSL Series Low-Profile Force Sensor from the Sensing and Control Business of Honeywell is a cost-effective, instrument-grade, precision force-sensing product.
Unlike photoelectric technology, these sensors are not affected by dust, light and colour.
The sensors' noncontact technology makes them generally more reliable than electromechanical sensors and more cost effective than laser technology.
The 941-D teach-in properties mean the customer can "teach" the device the desired position of the switching outputs or the limits of the analogue output.
"Previously, setting up an ultrasonic sensor could be technically challenging", said Honeywell Product Manager Adolfo Cano Munoz.
"The 941-D series sensors can be easily installed and quickly set up using the new remote teach-in features".
"Generally speaking, using an ultrasonic sensor is no longer a specialist's job, because they are now very easy to install, similar to a proximity or photoelectric sensor".
Expected applications for the 941-D include use in tank level measurement, package filling control, metalworking, loop control, reel diameter measurement and in special machinery performing the winding, unwinding or slicing of various materials.
The 941-D series sensors feature two switching or one analogue output in limit switch-style housing with a five-pin standard M12 connector.
They feature epoxy heads with high-sealing IP67 for use in many wet or difficult areas and applications with high chemical resistance.
Hysteresis adjustment and windows function are available, often making the 941-D series sensors an excellent replacement for more expensive software programmable devices.
