They have a simple non-contact design that eliminates mechanical failure, reduces wear and improves machine reliability.
It is an absolute position sensor that senses the position of a magnet relative to the sensor using a patented combination of an ASIC and an array of magneto-resistive sensors.
Available in linear, arc or rotary configurations SMART sensors are lightweight, rugged, easy to install and are offered in a wide range of sizes and sensing distances. They are highly shock and vibration resistant and are sealed to IP67 and IP69. An in-built self-diagnostic feature ensures machine downtime is reduced to a minimum.
