Magnetic noncontact measuring system for rotary applications

By Paul Dvorak | September 26, 2012

The incremental, non-contact, Posirot measuring system PMIS4/PMIR5 consists of the sensor head PMIS4 and an incremental magnetic ring PMIR5. The sensor head is made of an enclosed, shielded metal housing.

A sensor specialist extends its magnetic position-sensors range to the combination PMIS4/PMIR5, developed for rotary applications. The advantages of the combination are high EMC protection, large guiding distance tolerance, and a superior signal performance up to 327,680 pulses/360°.

The incremental, non-contact, Posirot measuring system PMIS4/PMIR5 consists of the sensor head PMIS4 and an incremental magnetic ring PMIR5. The sensor head is made of an enclosed, shielded metal housing. It offers high protection against electromagnetic interference, thermal overload, and has protection class IP67. Guiding distance is ±1 mm. Available output types are HTL, TTL and TTL24V.

The PMIR5 magnetic ring comes in three sizes with flange sizes of 83, 133, or 233 mm. They are available with decadic, binary, or degree division and reach corresponding 131,072 pulses/360°, 196,608 pulses/360° or 327,680 pulses/360°. Temperature range is -40 to +85°C and the maximum pulse frequency is 480 kHz.

Because the system operates magnetically, it is unaffected by contamination from oil and dust. For this reason it’s suitable for use in harsh, dusty industrial environments.
