NRH280DP Dual output, non-contact, rotary position sensor

NOTE: This product is now obsolete and unavailable, please contact our team for an alternate product.

The Penny & Giles NRH280DP no-contact rotary position sensor is a legacy product used by existing customers. For new installations and applications, we recommend selecting the modern equivalent NRH300DP no-contact rotary position sensor which has the same mounting profile and magnet options.

  • No-contact technology with external position magnet
  • Unlimited mechanical lifetime – wear free
  • Will operate from -40 to +140ºC with excursions to +170ºC
  • Withstands high pressure wash-downs (IP69K)
  • Simple mounting and extremely low profile (6.5mm) design
  • minimal weight
  • 5Vdc or 9Vdc supply
  • Analogue (0.5 – 4.5 or 0.1 – 4.9Vdc) or Digital (PWM ) outputs
  • Measurement range from 0-20º to 0-360º in 1º increments
  • 12-bit resolution (0.025%) over the angular range
  • Extremely low signal noise level – less than 1mVrms
  • Electrically interchangeable with potentiometers

NRH280DP has a co-moulded fully encapsulated sensor system that can withstand high shock and vibration as well as operate up to +170ºC and endure high pressure wash-downs (IP69K). The sensor is activated by a separate magnet with a choice of two carrier designs.

NRH280DP is designed for applications in extreme environments where space is limited. It also allows up to ±2mm radial offset, with a permissible gap 2-7mm between the sensor and magnet. The transmissive properties between the magnet and sensor also allow operation through non-magnetic materials.
