Non-Contact, Hall-Effect Sensors Boast ±0.1% Linearity

A family of ultra-precise, non-contact Hall-effect position sensors features absolute linearity of ±0.1%. The devices have 12-bit resolution and are qualified to RTCA/DO-160F aircraft standards. They come in ½-in. (12.7-mm), 7/8-in. (22.23-mm), and 7/8-in. dual (double-redundant) sizes with high-temperature and custom versions available. Because Hall-effect sensors convert energy from a magnetic field into an electrical signal, they permit contact-less operation yielding nearly unlimited life cycles. The sensors offer a cost effective solution for many harsh environment applications involving temperature, vibration, moisture, and dirt, making them ideal for a range of military and aerospace, as well as commercial designs. The new non-contact Hall-effect position sensors are priced starting at $59.95 per 1000 pieces. SPECTRUM CONTROL, Grass Valley, CA. (408) 398-9700.
