Heavy duty applications require products from companies that are reputed for quality, reliability and attention to detail. This is why ASM has developed its new PRAS5 heavy duty Hall effect sensors with a measuring range of 0–360° and sealing up to IP69K.
Whenever a rotary sensor is to be used for a harsh outside application such as mobile hydraulics, wind turbines or offshore applications the sensor is expected to be impervious to the environmental conditions as well as the harsh application requirements. These include wide temperature fluctuations and sealing against water and debris.
The PRAS5 family is available with either a stainless steel or aluminium housing which has been designed to allow the sensor to run continuously under these demanding conditions. The range incorporates Hall sensing technology and is available with a 10 mm output shaft or alternatively magnetically coupled via an independent magnet giving a true non-contact measuring system. M8 fixings meet the heavy duty installation requirements with a temperature capability from -40 to 120°C. The PRAS5 can be ordered in angular increments of 15° and the rugged design has been tested for 100 g/11 ms shock and 20 g vibration.
A wide range of electrical outputs are available including 0,5-10 V, 4-20 mA along with a choice of CanBus outputs including CANopen and J1939.
