Heavy-Duty Rotary Position Sensor for tough Applications
to its robust mechanical design. The sensor function itself can be reliably monitored;
an example is the detection of real real values directly at the steered shaft
of electro-hydraulic steering systems. Potholes, road salt, and other untoward
road factors do not interfere with the functioning of these sensors.
This heavy-duty sensor is available for measuring ranges of up to 360°, and it
allows for continuous mechanical rotation. It is available in single-channel or
dual-channel designs. The completely redundant version can be utilized for applications
where safety is a concern; it complies with the requirements of
ISO13849 PLd. With a diameter of 79mm and its small height of 35mm, this
extremely compact component can easily be integrated into the mechanics of
construction, agricultural, and forestry machinery, as well as into the rudder
steering systems of maritime vessels, and the like. Type E1 approval has been
obtained from the German department of motor vehicles (KBA).
The Heavy Duty Sensor is also available with the CANopen interface.
