A new, yet proven approach to simplifying sensor system design, BEI Duncan 98E Series Elements & Assemblies provide a lower costs alternative to more costly designs.
Designed To Fit Your Application
You don't need to change your design. 98E Series elements can be configured to fit your existing packaging and performance requirements. They can significantly reduce "real estate" issues, such as cost, weight and space. They typically offer reduced size, withstand high temperatures and harsh environments.
Innovative Features/Designs
Duncan is a leader in designing innovative packages for unusual shapes and tight spots, where the use of compact and miniature resistive elements may be used individually or in combination with a wiper/housing assembly. These innovative answers to custom paths or voltage functions are found commonly in automotive applications such as automatic transmission controls, climate and twilight sentinel/light control position sensors for the automotive industry, and in such instrumentation such as
x-y recorders and other laboratory, consumer and industrial products.
Element/Contact Combinations Improve Reliability
Like any other precision assembly, the sensor element/contact relationship will function optimally only when contact force, angle of contact and travel alignment is cor-rect. In lieu of supplying only the element, BEI Duncan Element/Contact assemblies can be the answer, providing the two most important members of the sensor without confining your packaging design. When using this approach, BEI Duncan can guarantee proper functionality.
Early Design Involvement Means Low Cost Rewards
By working with us early in your design stage you can benefit from our sensor design and manufacturing expertise. This will assure optimized sensor performance and reliability, and will most often contribute to lower unit and assembly costs.
Linear Motion Sensor Modules

Linear motion sensor utilizes simple sensor element mating with slider contact mounted to shaft. Complete assembly is enclosed in sealed, connectorized and harnessed sensor module for heavy equipment applications.
Element/Gear Reduction Assemblies
Compact gear-reduction design provides direct link between sensor wiper/contact and motor drive shaft for accurate, reliable performance. Rotary element with terminations on a profiled insert fits into modular, connectorized housing.
Sensor Panel Controls Using Multiple Elements
BEI Duncan sensor design capabilities include multiple sensors on printed circuit boards, integrated with system/module circuitry. Rotary spindle with contact aligns with circular element tracks.
