Rotary position sensors
23 March 2017
Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial division has announced the launch of its NRH271 and NRH272, a new family of non-contact, rotary position sensors from the legacy brand of Penny & Giles.
With a low-profile sensor body design and a small footprint, these fully-encapsulated, IP69K-rated sensors offer exceptional performance against water, dust, shock, vibration, and temperature. They are ideal for on/off-highway vehicles destined for use in challenging environments, and as a cost-effective solution for medium volume applications where a wide range of options or degree of customization is required.
The NRH271 is a 3-wire, single output variant with a supply current rating of less than 12.5mA, while the NRH272 is a 6-wire, dual-redundant output variant with a supply current rating of <25mA. The dual-die sensor has two separately-powered input supply and output channels for full electrical redundancy.
Both feature a 9.5mm housing and use wear-free Hall-effect sensing technology to provide a long mechanical life.
