Non-contact SMART sensor minimises downtime

Honeywell's SMART position sensor is claimed to be one of the most durable and adaptable non-contact sensors on the market.

Providing accurate, safe and efficient motion control, the device is suitable for applications in the industrial, transportation, medical, military and aerospace industries. Small and lightweight, it has a simple non-contact design that eliminates mechanical failure, reduces wear and improves machine reliability. It relies on a patented combination of an ASIC and an array of magneto-resistive sensors to sense the position of a magnet relative to the sensor. The sensor is sealed to IP67 and IP69 and is available now from Aerco in linear, arc or rotary configurations.
