Product Type: Linear Position

9600 Spring Return Linear Position Sensor

The 9600 Series Linear Position Sensor is designed for a variety of space-limited feedback applications that require high accuracy. It is ideally suited for industrial, vehicular, appliance, machine tool, and robotic applications due to the unit’s high-temperature stability.

The 9600 Series is available in three standard sizes and provides excellent life at 1,000,000 full cycles (5 million dither cycles), which means high reliability in demanding installations.

Features

  • Solderable terminal tabs, suitable for use with .110” (2.8mm) PDQ-styled crimped wiring lugs
  • Durable spring-loaded plunger
  • Available in three standard sizes
  • Provides life at 1,000,000 full cycles (5 million dither cycles)

Applications

  • Industrial equipment
  • Appliances
  • Machine tools
  • Robotics

AN9 Sensors

Noncontact, intrinsically linear contact angle position sensors with two independent outputs. The sensors operate through the use of Hall Effect technology with magnetic fields generated by permanent magnets. They provide a linear change in voltage output (ratiometric to the input voltage) corresponding to an angular rotation of the input shaft.

Features

  • Angular position sensor with high tolerance for misalignment
  • Noncontact angular position sensing and full 360° rotation
  • Dual independent (redundant) outputs assure high reliability
  • Custom programming available for angle range, slope, PWM contact factory
  • No mechanical interface means no parts to wear out or jam
  • Comes with 18 AWG 305 mm (12”) wire leads
  • RoHS Compliant
  • IP68*
  • Maximum air gap of 5.5 mm (0.22”)**

Applications

  • Implement (forklift, agricultural trailer hitch, etc.) position sensing
  • Steer, throttle by wire
  • Gear selection
  • Zero-contact encoder alternative
  • Replacement for smart bearings
  • Outboard trim sensing
