Penny + Giles, a business group of Curtiss-Wright Controls, has expanded the output options of the company's SRH501P and SRH502P contactless rotary position sensors. According to the company, the latest analog voltage output options make these sensors ideal for use in factory automated systems and process control machinery.
"With support for 0 to 10 VDC analog voltage output, a signal commonly used by machine controllers and recording instruments, the Hall effect-based SRH501P and SRH502P sensors feature expanded application range," said a company spokesperson.
Both the single output SRH501P and the dual output SRH502P feature programmable sensors. Designed for use in extreme environments, these sensors are based on contactless Hall effect technology, which, according to the company, enable them to operate in high dither vibration conditions with no deterioration of the sensing element.
With the 0 - 10 VDC output option, the sensors can operate from a 13.5-30 VDC unregulated power supply. They are available factory-programmed with any one of 341 different angles from 20° up to 360°, in one degree increments. The SRH501P and SRH502P provide 12 bit resolution (0.025%) over the selected measuring range.
OEMs can also specify the measurement range and output in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The dual output SRH502P can be set up to have independent measurement ranges for each output channel.
"These sensors are easy to install and feature low maximum output signal noise rated at 1 mV rms, so they require no additional signal filtering on the output signal," said the spokesperson. "Both sensors are mechanically interchangeable with the Penny + Giles SRS880 and SRH880 rotary sensors, enabling existing users to easily upgrade."
The sensors are available in a marine-grade cast aluminum housing with 87.5 mm diameter flange and 12 mm diameter shaft. An optional lever arm kit is also available and can be attached to the sensor's operating shaft.
The sensors are supplied with a screened multi-core connecting cable (option S), available in lengths of 1, 5 or 10 meters. They are sealed to IP69K for increased protection in harsh environments and to prevent the ingress of dust, water and pressure jets. The sensors are designed with an operating temperature range of -40 to +115°C.
