The SRH301 and SRH302 range of shaft-operated Rotary Position Sensors offers the optimal combination of performance, safety and cost. The sensor utilises proven Hall-effect, sensing technology in a low-profile (17.3mm) housing with integral magnet.
The circuit design allows the sensor to be run from a regulated 5V supply or a varying voltage in the range of 9-30V, such as a vehicle’s battery.
The electrical output span can be set to correspond to rotations of 20° to 360°, and the positional information is determined by the angle of the integral magnet relative to the sensor. The integral magnet arrangement ensures a consistent sensor-magnet separation, avoiding errors associated with air-gap fluctuations.
The SRH301 range has a single output, while the SRH302 contains two completely independent measuring circuits, each with its own power supply, meaning high-performing, safety-critical applications can easily be addressed. The versatile, factory-programmable electronics can be easily set to one of two analogue voltage output ranges or one of three PWM frequencies. In addition, the polarities of each of the analogue outputs can be independently set.
The SRH301 and SRH302 both contain on-board diagnostic functions that mean the outputs can be put into safe, pre-defined states should an internal sensor error be detected.
The sealed design offers exceptional levels of performance with respect to water and dust, shock, vibration and temperature, meaning the sensor is ideal for use in hostile, on- and off-highway vehicle environments.
Connection options are industry-standard AMP Superseal or Deutsch DT04 series connectors, or simple flying leads for customer termination. The sensor can also be supplied with a protective conduit for the cabling.
The Penny & Giles product range comprises a broad selection of joysticks, sensors and solenoids for use on commercial vehicles and industrial equipment.
The products are the legacy of the Penny & Giles company founded in 1956 and acquired by Curtiss Wright in 2002.
The present-day product range includes: linear and rotary position sensors; LVDT and RVDT transducers; joysticks; studio faders; digital panel meters; and solenoid actuators for a wide range of industrial motion control applications.
Their joystick controls are suitable for commercial vehicle applications for both on- and off-highway use. These include construction and agricultural vehicles, material handling and other specialty vehicles. They are also suitable for use with industrial equipment such as robotics. Their finger-operated joystick controllers are designed for the smooth, precise control of critical functions in a variety of industrial applications where a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is required. They also have rugged joystick controllers are designed for the more demanding installations found within operator cabs for off-highway vehicles. A wide range of linear position sensors, tilt sensors, rotary sensors, linear displacement transducers and linear potentiometers that offer distinct advantages in reliability, stability and compactness.
