Penny + Giles announces IP68 sealed rating for its rotary sensor
Penny
+ Giles has announced that its SRS280 rotary sensor has achieved an IP68
sealed rating for operation in harsh environments. The rugged sensor, which
is used for reliable position measurement in industrial applications, such
as valve position monitoring, is now totally protected against the ingress
of water, dust and dirt. As a result it delivers accurate measurements in
the most extreme conditions.
The SRS280 rotary sensor uses Penny + Giles’ proven hybrid potentiometer
technology, providing high stability under extremes of temperature and humidity,
with virtually infinite resolution and a life in excess of 50 million operations.
It offers a range of innovative features, which overcome the shortcomings
of competitive products, and has set the standard of reliability for the
industry. SRS280 was the first rotary sensor of its kind to offer a range
of thirty-five different models with angles from 10 to 350 degrees allowing
the user to match the sensitivity of the system to the application, for
better data acquisition and closer control.
The sensors have an integral moulded cable assembly, which negates the need
for a heat-shrink boot. Crush proof mounting flanges feature steel inserts
which protect the casing from the possibility of damage from mounting bolts.
As a result, SRS280 can be repositioned as many times as necessary, making
it a much better investment than traditional designs which often have to
be discarded after only one use.
The SRS280 is also available with an IP50 rating for applications where
such a high level of protection is not required. The new sealing option
adds to the company’s extensive range of rotary sensors, which includes
the SRH280 that is based on non-contacting Hall effect technology. Also
sealed to IP68, it features a 12-bit processor and offers 0.088 degree measurement
resolution for high precision monitoring.
All products are manufactured at Penny + Giles’ ISO9001 certified
facility and are available in three to five days from ordering.
