Low profile position sensor
01 May 2013
New from Penny + Giles, the NRH275DR is a rotary position sensor featuring a slim, low-profile sensor housing and separate permanent magnet assembly.
With no contacting mechanical parts that can wear, the sensor is reported to be ideal for specialist vehicle applications in extreme and hostile environments where installation space may be limited.
Examples include tip control for articulated dump trucks, bin lift control for garbage and refuse collection vehicles and four-wheel-steer function for city road sweeping vehicles. The lightweight, low-profile design of the sensor also means it is suitable for throttle position sensing and feedback for motorsport applications.
