Powell Electronics, the supplier of connectors and more for high-rel applications including defence, aerospace and industrial, are VRS series sensors from Honeywell that meet industrial high output/resolution/temperature and hazardous location requirements as well as general purpose requirements. Six application-specific series are available from stock at Powell Electronics:
General purpose VRS sensors are designed for use in applications with medium to high speeds or in electrically noisy environments with relatively small air gaps. The following housing diameters are available: 5/8 in (M16), 3/8 in (M12), 1/4 in (M8) and 10/32 in. Output voltages are 8 Vp-p up to 40 Vp-p.
Hazardous location VRS sensors are designed for use in locations where explosion-proof or intrinsically safe sensors are required. The sensors are available for housing diameters 3/4 in and 5/8 in (M16). Output voltages are 30 Vp-p up to 60 Vp-p.
High output VRS sensors are designed for use in applications where higher output voltages are needed. They perform best at low to medium speeds with medium to high impedance loads. Sealed front-end versions are available for use where the sensor is exposed to fluids, lubricants or adverse environmental conditions.
High resolution VRS sensors are designed for use in applications where precise timing pulse is required, and/or fine pitch gears are used. Proper alignment of the sensor is required. The sensors are available for housing diameters 5/8 in (M16) and 3/8 in (M12). Output voltages are 17 Vp-p up to 170 Vp-p
High temperature VRS sensors are designed for use in applications where the sensor is exposed to temperatures up to 260 degree Celsius. Sealed front-end versions are available for applications where the sensor is exposed to fluids, lubricants or adverse environmental conditions.
Power output VRS sensors are designed for driving low resistance loads at large air gaps in applications where larger actuators may be used. The products are available with a housing diameter of 5/8 in (M16) and an output voltage of 70 Vp-p.
