New Non-contacting Position Sensor from BEI

Online, October 29, 2009 (Newswire.com) - BEI Duncan Electronics has introduced 8360 Non-contacting, through-hole Position Sensor series to its comprehensive line of robust, highly accurate position sensors. Featuring 360 degree continuous rotational capabilities in a low-profile, through-hole package, the new device provides an ideal solution for applications where space and sensor mounting flexibility are critical. A wide range of optional parameters can be specified to meet individual customer requirements.

Designed in a durable package, the 8360 is especially suited for applications in harsh environments such as industrial vehicles/material handling, agricultural and construction equipment, process controls, marine, aero-defence, energy, robotics, medical systems and valve actuation. Specific uses include position sensing for steering wheel, boom angle, throttling, pivoting, and traction control.

The 8360 Sensor's hollow shaft package is less than 16mm thick, allowing easy interface to space restricted applications as well as applications where a blind shaft mount is not feasible. With its thin through-hole package, the sensor can fit around or over the shaft, offering OEMs and design engineers complete versatility.
