DCS Coming Soon Linear Position Tilt Sensor Combo from POSITAL 1 400x275

September 13, 2022

Coming soon! POSITAL’s LINARIX family of linear sensors will soon include a new series of draw-wire position sensors with built-in inclinometers (also known as tilt sensors). These combo sensors will be available with an extension range of up to 8 meters (25 ft) plus one- or two-axis tilt measurement.

IP69K-rated housings and seals will be available to protect internal components from high-pressure water jets making them a great choice for booms trucks and other construction equipment that require regular washdowns. They will also be available with CANopen and J1939 communications interfaces.

 

Features and Benefits:

  • •Accurate – Linearity up to +/-0.2%
  • •CANopen and J1939 communications interfaces.
  • •Extension range of up to 8 metres (25 ft)
  • •One- or two-axis tilt measurement

VariKont Inductive Sensor with Active Shielding Technology—High Switching Distances in All Installation Situations

Inductive sensors are still the first choice for detecting metallic objects. However, conventional inductive proximity sensors have one thing in common: if the distance to the damping element increases, the sensor becomes more sensitive to the detection object, and the metal surrounding the installation affects the switching distance.

ADVANCED Motion Controls Takes Servo Drives to New Heights (and Depths) with FlexPro Extended Environment Product Line

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.

Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
