Turck BIM-UNR position sensors for C-groove cylinders
08 April, 2010 byThe BIM-UNR line of compact magnetic cylinder position sensors now includes a dual sensor designed for detecting short and long stroke C-groove cylinders. BIM-UNR dual sensors combine two sensors through one cable connection to speed installation, as well as lessen wire costs and connection points. This design makes the sensor beneficial in areas where multiple cylinders are used, as it only requires a single cable. With dimensions of 2.9 x 4.6 x 18 mm, the sensors feature a low profile.
ASM WS31 linear position sensor
24 March, 2010 byThe WS31 linear position sensor series from ASM offers measuring ranges of 250 and 500 mm and includes a mounting bracket that allows for easy and flexible installation of the sensor and thus position measurement in almost every direction.
Macrosensors GHS series LVDT-based gauging probes
10 March, 2010 byUsing electronic gauging probes for dimensional gauging of manufactured parts is a well-established quality assurance technique. Typical gauging probes are cylinders with diameters of about 9 mm and lengths ranging from 65 to 100 mm. They incorporate a non-contact inductive position sensor, either LVDT or half-bridge, which uses a spring-loaded movable armature coupled to a shaft that is supported in a high-precision linear bearing. They generally have a maximum gauging range of 0.25 to 2.5 mm, with resolutions of fractions of a micron.
Turck BIM-UNR miniature magnetic cylinder position sensor
10 March, 2010 byThe BIM-UNR is a miniature magnetic cylinder position sensor designed to mount within C-groove cylinders with no accessories required. Its dimensions are 2.9 x 4.6 x 18 mm.
