PRAS1: Contact-Free 360° Angle Sensor in Ultra-Compact M-12 Housing
ASM GmbH sets the new benchmark for angular position transducers with the new development of a magnetic angle sensor in a very compact M12 housing. The PRAS1 sensor provides absolute position measurement over full 360° sensing range and is part of the successful POSIROT® family of magnetic angular sensors. With only a 1/2 inch diameter and overall length of less than 2 inches, this small sensor saves space and can be installed in the tightest locations.
The contact-free and wear-free angular measurement of 0° to 360° is achieved by using a position magnet. PRAS1 has a typical resolution of 0.1° and yields an analog signal through the use of a D/A industrial converter. Three different analog outputs are available: 4-20 mA, 0.5-4.5 V and 0.5-10V. The industrial housing is rated up to IP68.
With its dependable and rugged design, the PRAS1 angle sensor is well suited for angle monitoring in a wide variety of heavy duty applications such as factory automation equipment, variable valve controls, mobile working machines, etc.
The QR angle sensor is designed to measure non contact rotary displacement from 0 to 360 degrees without mechanical stop. A magnet needs to be fitted to the rotating axle and the sensor can be mounted opposite with a maximum 5 mm gap. This gives plenty of room for mechanical tolerances in extreme circumstances. In combination with our robust QUADRO® (PDF) housing you get a accurate sensor that withstands a few knocks. We supply a range of electronic input / output options with 8, 10 or 12-bits resolution to cater for the wide range of applications. Custom design housing with or without integrated magnet are an option.
The Schaevitz® line of rotary position detection offers high reliability for absolute rotary position measurements in a range of specialized applications. Standard features include a non-contacting design, 120 degree measuring range, 360 degree free rotation, virtually infinite rotational life, infinite resolution, a wide operating temperature range and a fully signal-conditioned output. Applications include industrial controls, valve position, robotics and throttle controls.
The compact DFP-2 is perfect for use in use in dancer control applications with the MAGPOWR VERSATEC™, and in dancer and follower arm applications with the DFC-90 and FAD. It offers the same exceptional sensing performance as the original DFP sensor, but in a lighter duty low cost housing.
And what's already included in the DFP-2 is a servo type flexible coupling to allow for misalignment in shaft-to-shaft applications as well as fifteen feet of shield cabling for ease of installation.
The combination of a coder with ends of the road in the same case increases the reliability and the safety of the machines, because of two independent checking circuits in the same case.
The coder integrated provided information uninterrupted of the movement in 5-30 VDC with a resolution from 100 to 5000 increments. The programmable ends of the road, the catch of origin are regulated freely with the position wished.
The adjustment of the ends of the road is very simple: the case is assembled on the machine, the machine is then led manually to its limiting position, the end of the road is positioned with a key of programming. This procedure is repeated for the other end of the road.
The case is well protects by its cap against dust or any external intervention; all the signals are cabled on a connector specifications with the back of the case.
These cases can also be provided with potentiometers manufacturers.
COMP' AUT will be able to best advise the customer in the choice of the case being appropriate for its application.
