Angle Sensors

TURCK (Minneapolis, MN) has announced inductive angle sensors for rotary actuators. Operating with the inductive resonant circuit measuring principle, the sensors provide valve monitoring on rotary actuators. The sensors are designed with an open face design, providing analog or discrete outputs and various mounting options. The sensors can monitor three-way valves while also detecting the valve position during cleaning cycles. Additionally, the sensors are capable of detecting the wear of seals. They are available in two models, either with two programmable PNP switching outputs, or with two scalable analog outputs of 0-10V and 4-20mA. They feature a protection rating of IP67 and a rugged, compact housing design. The sensors have an operating temperature ranging from -25 to 75 °C, making them suitable for applications including valve automation, steering position feedback, and dancer arm control.
