NRH275DR - Dual Redundant Output 'No Contact' Rotary Position Sensor

Penny + Giles have launched their new low-profile, magnet-activated NRH275DR rotary position sensor, that is now available from Control Devices.

The NRH275DR only operates from 5Vdc, and has dual independent power supply and output signals (enabling full redundancy and allowing compliance with SIL-2 requirements for systematic safety as defined in IEC 61508) that terminate in 6x 18 AWG wires, allowing Deutsch or AMP style connectors to be simply added. Signal outputs are analogue (0.1-4.9 or 0.5-4.5Vdc), voltage (ratiometric) or PWM.

The factory-programmed sensor features a measurement range on each channel from 20° to 360° (available in 1° increments), and other output configurations including CH1/CH2 angle, output type and output direction. It also features a very low maximum output signal noise of less than 1mV, which means no additional signal filtering is required on the output signals.

The NRH275DR features a fully encapsulated 12-bit Hall effect sensor system that can withstand high shock and vibration, can operate at temperatures from -40°C to +140°C and is IP67-rated for dust protection and water immersion to a depth of 1m for 24 hours. Optional NC10 conduit tube protection is also available.

This new model – which joins P+G’s existing range of SRH, TPS and NRH rotary position sensors - has the same magnet style options as offered by the NRH280DP and NRH285DR models, but is supplied in a moulded polymer housing (36 x 35mm) with metal inserts for the mounting points.

With no contacting mechanical parts that can wear, the sensor is ideal for specialist vehicle applications where installation space may be limited, including articulated dump trucks (tip control), garbage collection vehicles (bin lift control), road sweeping vehicles (4-wheel steering), and racing cars (throttle pedal position).

CDJ420 - JC6000 with 4-20mA current output

			The Control Devices CDJ900 series joystick is available in single (Forward/Back or Left/Right) or multi-axis (North, South, East, West) configurations. The standard model contacts activate at approximately 5° from centre and up to two contacts per axis can be activated. Multiple contacts can be engaged at the same time (NW, SW, NE, SE). The CDJ900 can be used to control solenoid coils directly, providing the current rating is within the capability of the switches (see data sheet.) Higher current will reduce the life of the switches so we have designed the CDJ900 so the switches are field replaceable. A large number handle range options is available, please contact your local sales office for options.

CDJ900 - Single and Multi-Axis Joystick with High Current Switch Function

			This joystick can be supplied with a battery rail voltage anywhere from 8-30 V dc. The device conditions the voltage and supplies the appropriate voltage levels to both ends of the joystick pot taps, as well as the centre tap. The output from the joystick is 4-20mA. The joystick can be configured to give 12 mA as the centre current or 4 mA as the centre current. Directional switches are also provided if a discrete signal for displacement is required.

30 new products for our 30 years !

			"30 new products for our 30 years" is the motto that sums up the special event organized to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of Lika Electronic. 30 years of excellence and innovation. Lika Electronic was founded in 1982 in Schio (VI), Italy employing a small and passionate team to manufacture absolute encoders for the German market. Lika Electronic started as a family-owned business. But thanks to its technical competencies and comprehensive know-how in the automation industry along with the high quality standards and the skill in providing solutions that target specific customer needs, over the years Lika Electronic has grown becoming a forward thinking innovative and global company. Now Lika is among the leading manufacturers of optical encoders and magnetic measurement systems in Europe and worldwide.

NM2-05i, NM2-10i, NM3-30i, NM4-45i, NM4-80i

			November 2011 Inclinometers of high measurement accuracy with an integrated 4...20mA signal conditioner in a robust stainless steel for inclination measurement in the ranges between ±5° and ±80 degrees. The capacitive, dielectric liquid based inclinometers NM2i, NM3i and NM4i contain new sensor electronics combined with a very solid housing. These are made up of a highly stable, laser-trimmed signal conditioner with electronic compensation for temperature drift, highly stable supply voltage regulation circuitry and low-pass filtering of the measurement signal to eliminate unwanted noise.

Penny + Giles Extends NRH Rotary Position Sensor Range With Dual Redundant Output Option

			July 2011 Following the launch of its NRH280DP dual-output ‘non contact’ rotary position sensor in 2010, Penny + Giles has expanded its range with the introduction of a dual redundant output version. Operating from a 5Vdc supply, the NRH285DR has two independent power supplies and outputs that enable full redundancy from a low-profile housing measuring just 6.5mm – making it one of the thinnest available.
