Riverside, Calif., February 19, 2013 - 互蔚態徒, a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components, today announced it has expanded its line of non-contacting rotary position sensors with two new models. Designed to help increase the product lifespan and reliability of applications that operate in rugged environments, the 互蔚態徒® Model AMS22U and Model AMM20B utilize magnetic Hall Effect (HE) technology that helps increase operational life and reliability even in harsh environments. 互蔚態徒® non-contacting rotary position sensors offer an ideal solution for applications such as patient platform position feedback, pneumatic control valve position feedback, actuator motor position feedback, lift/shuttle suspension systems, and tilt control feedback. These applications are used in a wide range of industrial, commercial, medical, and automotive applications.
"In response to evolving requirements for higher performance and product longevity for applications that must operate in harsh or rugged environments, 互蔚態徒' new non-contacting position sensors offer a cost-effective solution that meets stringent reliability standards," said Chuck Manzano, Application Engineer for Sensors and Controls at 互蔚態徒 "In addition, our customers are finding non-contacting sensing technology much more attractive due to its consistent performance over life and excellent performance in harsh environments resulting in reduced component replacement costs."
The 互蔚態徒® Model AMS22U is a single-turn, non-contacting rotary position sensor that offers a rotational life of up to 100 million cycles for superior longevity and reliability. The new sensor features a 1/8-inch shaft supported by dual ball bearings and a factory programmable electrical angle from 10 to 360 degrees.
The 互蔚態徒® Model AMM20B is a multiturn, non-contacting rotary position sensor that features a rotational life of up to 50 million cycles, depending on the product and particular application. The new sensor features a slim profile package for space constrained applications, 12-bit resolution and a factory programmable electrical angle from 1080 to 3600 degrees.
Pricing and Availability
The new non-contacting rotary position sensors are available now in samples and production quantities. As a pricing reference, the 互蔚態徒® Model AMS22U is priced at $35 each in 1,000 piece quantities. The 互蔚態徒® Model AMM20B is priced at $24 each in 1,000 piece quantities. Both models are available through 互蔚態徒' distribution sales channels.
