Rotary position sensors handle harsh environments

A Penny and Giles product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Nov 14, 2006

Upgraded range of rotary position sensors allows OEMs to produce more accurate measurement equipment for the most demanding industrial and position sensing applications.

Penny + Giles has upgraded its range of rugged, noncontact Hall effect rotary position sensors for use in harsh environments.

The new SRH series features a 12bit processor and offers 0.088 degree measurement resolution for high precision monitoring under conditions of extreme temperature, humidity, vibration, shock and immersion.

The upgrade allows OEMs to produce more accurate measurement equipment for the most demanding industrial and position sensing applications.

The noncontact Hall effect technology of the SRH sensor ensures reliable and accurate rotary measurement in high dither vibration conditions with no deterioration of the sensing element.

The sensors are rated to withstand 2500g shock in all axes, and to operate in a wide temperature range from -40 to +120C.

The series comprises two models.

The 28mm diameter SRH280 is sealed to IP50 or IP68 and is designed for use in automotive and motor sport applications.

The larger 88mm diameter SRH880 is sealed to IP68M using a double sealing system and is submersible to 2m.

It is available with an aluminium or stainless steel housing and is designed for use in heavy industrial applications including construction, agricultural, military, steelworks and power generation.

All the SRH sensors feature a measurement range from 90 to 360 degrees and a temperature error of less than 50ppm/C.

They are available with analogue voltage or pulsewidth modulated digital signal output.
