Position Sensor, Chassis, 0 to 360° Sensing, 12 to 30 VDC

Description

Honeywell SMART position sensors are some of the most durable, adaptable, and lightweight absolute position sensors available in the industry, enabling highly accurate motion control and improving operation efficiency and safety. SMART means that this is a sensor that can essentially think for itself. With the SMART position technology, Honeywell has utilized MR (magneto resistive) technology through the ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) at a level never before accomplished. The rotary configuration joins the Honeywell SMART position sensor family of proven linear and arc configurations. The SMART position sensor, rotary configuration, is a non-contacting sensing solution for absolute position sensing with enhanced accuracy. It senses the position of a magnet relative to the sensor in a range of 0 to 360°. Honeywell uses a patented combination of an ASIC and an array of MR sensors to accurately and reliably determine the position of this magnet collar attached to a rotating object so that the object's position can be determined or controlled. The output and the MR sensor sequence determine the nearest pair of MR sensors to the center of the magnet location. The output of these two MR sensors is then used to determine the position of the magnet between them. The SMART Position Sensor, Rotary Configuration, fits on a 25.4mm (1 in.) shaft. A mounting tool fixture (purchased separately) provides repeatable installation.
