Novotechnik introduces new programmable angle sensors
Novotechnik U.S. introduces the Vert-X 37E Series of programmable touchless rotary sensors. These sensors use a magnetic pick up that is secured to the rotating object, so that there is no direct mechanical linkage between the shaft and the measuring system, and therefore no wear. The Vert-X 37E Series is hermetically sealed, without any moving […]
What types of problems can fiber optic kinetic sensor solve?
At Sensors Expo 2019, Dennis Horwicz, Product Manager at Micronor explains how his company’s fiber optic sensors for mechanical motion applications can be used in challenging applications that include electromagnetic interference (EMI)/ radio frequency interference (RFI), radiation, high voltage, magnetic field, temperature extremes and even an explosive atmosphere. A fiber optic kinetic sensor to measure […]

The new […]
New SWS steering wheel sensor for warehouse trucks
Allied Motion Technologies has introduced the SWS Steering Wheel Sensor, a compact steer-by-wire steering wheel feedback sensor designed specifically for warehouse vehicles like reach, counterbalance, and lift trucks. Steering wheels can be mounted directly to the SWS and connected to a CAN bus. Without the need for a mechanical connection, truck designers are free to […]
User-programmable angle and speed sensors
Novotechnik, U.S. has introduced the IO-Link programming tool for its RFC-4800 Series of touchless angle sensors. This device connects a sensor to a mini USB port of a PC running Windows or newer operating system. IO-Link enables users to program, test and adjust custom offset values to null point, set direction of rotation as clockwise […]
Through hollow incremental encoders feature easy installation, accurate measurement
POSITAL has extended is portfolio of rotary encoders with a new family of through-hollow incremental encoders. These devices are designed to be installed with the machine shaft passing through the sensor. They can be used to monitor rotary motion in a wide variety of machinery, including servomotors, material handling equipment and printing presses, offering cost-effective, […]
Industrial and motorsport angle sensors
Novotechnik, U.S. announces three versions of the SP 2800 Series of rotary position sensors—industrial, redundant channel industrial and motorsport. The industrial version is offered in three standard electrical ranges: 0° to 100, 308 or 345° and custom ranges. It is sealed against dust, dirt and water ingress to IP 65 and repeatability is to ≤ 0.03°. […]
Heavy-duty redundant angle sensors
Novotechnik, U.S. introduces the RFX 6900 Series of touchless rotary sensors. These magnetic sensors are design for use in mobile, safety-related and extreme environment applications. Housing of the RFX 6900 Series is anodized aluminum and sealed to IP 67 or IP 69K—depending on version. Conforms to ISO 13849 for safety related applications. MTTF is 46 […]
