IRVINE,
Calif., – Duncan
Electronics, a division of BEI Technologies, Inc., has
introduced the highly miniaturized 9600 Linear Motion Position
Sensor Series. Designed with a short 0.15" (3.8mm) mounting
terminal, the 9600 provides an extremely low profile. The
overall height of the sensor is 0.50" (12.7mm), which allows
installation in applications with abnormally tight packaging
constraints such as joystick controls, HVAC, robotics,
medical, aerospace, and industrial automation and controls.
 Offering superior
precision feedback, the new low profile potentiometer features
a spring return shaft that follows the surface of the measured
assembly. This simplifies the mechanical interface needs
of the installation. The 9600 Series is constructed of
high-temperature (135°C) plastic materials to provide
a highly ruggedized electromechanical device for reliable
position feedback in most applications, from delicate laboratory
to harsh environments.
This new
line of sensors complements Duncan's existing configurations
with the longer terminal lengths of .280" (7.1mm). The
9600 Series is compatible with industry-standard terminations
for virtual plug-and-play installation. Innovative packaging
designs are also available to provide cost-effective, reliable
solutions for any application requirement.
Performance
of the 9600 miniature sensor series is accurate over a
temperature range of -40°C to 135°C, shock up to
50 G's, vibration of 15G's, 50 to 10,000 Hz, and humidity
level of 95 percent at 38°C. Other features include
standard electrical travel (stroke) lengths of 0.5" (12.7mm),
1.0" (25.4mm) and 1.5"(38.1mm) for measurement versatility.
Standard linearity is ±2 percent with ±0.35
percent, the best practical linearity based on stroke length.
Mechanical life is rated at two million full cycles and
five million dither cycles. Miniaturized injection-molded
bodies measure 0.35"W (9mm) by 0.50"H (12.7mm) with lengths
of 1.06" (26.98mm), 1.56"(39.6mm) and 2.06" (52.3mm), depending
on electrical travel.
The 9600
Series is available for immediate delivery. Pricing is
from $12.00 each in production quantities.
