IRVINE,
Calif., – Duncan
Electronics, a company of Custom Sensors and Technology,
Inc., has introduced the 9950 Non-Contacting Rotary Position
Sensor. The new 9950 Sensor incorporates all the proven
performance characteristics of the company's dual Hall
effect sensors, including the superior durability of non-contacting
technology and excellent EMI capabilities, into a single
analog output, lower-cost and more compact package. The
result is a rugged, completely sealed device with a life
expectancy of up to 35 million cycles that provides an
ideal solution for the harsh environments found in industrial,
agriculture and off-highway applications.
 In
addition to the superior reliability provided by non-contacting
technology, the 9950 features a number of other design
elements that combine to provide an extremely durable package
capable of withstanding the most demanding applications.
The unit's integrated Hall effect chip is enclosed in a
liquid tight, fully sealed plastic package that meets protection
seal class IP67. A large bearing surface provides robust
operation for added strength and long service life, and
a new insert molded feature in the mount ears incorporate
stainless steel sleeving that prevents damage from fasteners
used in mounting.
Outstanding
performance characteristics include an electrical angle
of up to 120°, ±2.0% standard linearity, and
an high operating temperature range of -40 to +125°C
(-40 to 257°F), with an extended temperature range
of up to 125°C (257°F) available optionally. Accuracy
is ±3.0% of full scale at room temperature and ±4.0%
of full scale over operating temperature range. The rugged
device can withstand 10Gs vibration, 20-2,000 Hz; 50Gs
shock, and half sine pulse of 5msec duration. Integral
connector mates to industry standard Packard Electric METRI-Pack
150.2 series for easy plug-in installation.
Measuring
only 50 X 37.5 X 34.1 mm, the new design significantly
reduces the number of discrete electronic components over
previous models, providing a streamlined, compact package
to meet the increasingly small envelope size requirements
for space-critical installations.
"By leveraging
the extensive development success of our dual Hall sensor
into the design of the new 9950 single output Hall effect,
we have achieved the same level of durability and EMI protection
capabilities in a simpler, lower cost device - an ideal
solution for applications that don't require the redundancies
and expense of dual sensing technology," explains Paul
Cain, BEI Duncan's Director of Sales and Marketing and
Program Management.
The 9950
Sensor complements and expands the company's existing line
of non-contacting sensors, which includes NCAPS, Hall Effect
and potentiometric position solutions. Pricing is from
$21.00 each in production quantities with delivery in 8
weeks for standard products.
