SMART Position Sensor, SPS Series, 35 mm linear configuration, 0 mm to 35 mm [0 in to 1.38 in] sensing range, 0.5 Vdc to 4.5 Vdc analog output, magnet actuator included The SMART Position Sensor is one of the most durable, adaptable, and lightweight linear position sensors available in the industry, enabling highly accurate motion control and improving operation efficiency and safety. Its simple, non-contact design eliminates mechanical failure mechanisms, reducing wear and tear, improving reliability and durability, and minimizing downtime. The SMART Position Sensor is a non-contacting sensing solution for absolute position sensing with enhanced accuracy. It senses the position of a magnet relative to the sensor in one of two available sensing ranges: 0 mm to 35 mm [0 in to 1.38 in] 0 mm to 75 mm [0 in to 2.95 in] 0 mm to 225 mm [0 in to 8.86 in] These sensors uses a patented combination of an ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) and an array of MR (magnetoresistive) sensors to accurately and reliably determine the position of a magnet attached to a moving object so that the object's position can be determined or controlled. The MR array measures the output of the MR sensors mounted along the magnet's direction of travel. The output and the MR sensor sequence determine the nearest pair of MR sensors to the center of the magnet location. The output of these two MR sensors is then used to determine the position of the magnet between them. With this sensor, Honeywell has utilized MR technology through the ASIC at a level never before accomplished. The SMART Position Sensor is available in both analog output (35 mm, 75 mm and 225 mm configurations) and digital output (225 mm configuration only) for use in control systems requiring a RS232-type interface with a 57.6 kbits/s baud rate. Other configurations are in development.
