Servotechnic now offers an optional solid-state end-of-stroke sensor for its entire line of Haydon Switch hybrid linear actuators.

The sensor is capable of monitoring the end position of linear actuators and incorporates a Hall-effect device, which is activated by a rare earth magnet embedded in the end of the internal screw.

The compact profile of the sensor allows for installation in limited space applications.

The sensor has virtually unlimited cycle life and a wide temperature-compensated operating range (-55 to +150C).

It has a supply voltage range of 3.8 to 24V volts DC and a digital current sinking output of up to 20mA.

An analogue option can be provided, as well as special cabling and connectors.

HSI's end of stroke proximity sensor and all HSI products are backed by a technical team which provides extensive customer support and applications assistance and are available to assist you with a solution to fit specific needs and specific budgets.

This option is available on the entire line of Haydon Switch hybrid linear actuators which is the broadest in the world, available in the UK through Servotechnic.
