Compact angle sensor for wear-free rotation detection

July 24, 2024 By Redding Traiger

The posirot PRAS20 from ASM angle sensor is suitable for applications such as operating tables, doors, opening valves, packaging, or printing machines. Even tight installation spaces are no problem for the sensor in a 6 mm flat housing. A redundant version, posirot PRAS 20R, is available. posirot sensors use multihall technology for non-contact rotation measurement. […]

Combined displacement and inclination sensor saves cost, installation space

May 28, 2020 By Paul Heney

In many applications, both displacement and inclination must be determined for ultimate functionality. Usually two different sensors need two be applied to capture both parameters, even if the variables need to be measured at the same spot of the machine. In such cases, a combined measurement of the variables in one sensor saves costs, installation […]

Ultra-flat non-contact position sensor for tight installation situations

May 17, 2019 By Paul Heney

PCFP25 Magnet

ASM has released a contact-less, ultra-flat magnetostrictive position sensor for space-restricted applications such as in mobile machines. posichronPCFP25 is an absolute, non-contact and wear-free position sensor with measurement ranges from 100 mm up to 5,750 mm. The sensor system consists of a magnetostrictive waveguide and a moveable position magnet. The dimension of the slim profile […]

Find the Right Position Sensor

February 22, 2013 By Randy Frank

When you have a project and you need to choose the appropriate sensor to make a system work, reviewing the types of sensors that are available can be a good first step. Alternatively, if you know you need to measure position but you are still not quite sure how, a collection of what is available […]

Measure Lengths from 2,000 mm up to 10,000 mm in Harsh Environments

August 17, 2012 By Randy Frank

Harsh environments pose difficult restrictions on measurements, especially when considering the sensor’s ruggedness and life. ASM designed the WB100M tape sensor for highly resistance to shock and operation to IP68/69K in sea water. With the POSITAPE range, the stainless steel measurement tape will have at least double the life compared to that of a measurement […]
