Position Sensors for Medical Applications

February 8, 2012 By Randy Frank

Medical OEM applications, such as surgical table positioning can benefit from position sensors designed for wear-free operation. ASM Sensors PRAS20/PRAS21 series are magnetic rotary sensors that offer wear-free capability. The non-contact position sensors use an external position magnet to provide an absolute output signal over a 0 to 360-degree measurement range. Key parameters for the […]
