Honeywell
Introduces the Linear Position Sensor Module
New Addition to Magnetic Sensor Product Family
Measures Extended-Range Linear Position |
| |
| MINNEAPOLIS,
Minnesota, May 14, 2002
- Honeywell [NYSE:HON] today introduced the
HMR4007 Linear Position Sensor Module, a miniature
"drop-in" printed circuit board
that measures extended-range linear position.
This high-resolution sensor module demonstrates
the position-sensing concept and assists users
in easily implementing their own solution.
Because there are no moving electronic components,
the HMR4007 offers users exceptionally long
operational life. |
| |
| The
circuit board uses multiple (7) sensor elements
in an array with supporting circuitry including
a microprocessor to create both digital and
analog representation. The sensor array is
composed of Honeywell's HMC1501 Magnetic Displacement
Sensors, which provide better performance
than traditional Hall Effect devices. The
HMR4007 works with a common magnet to provide
non-contact position sensing and fast measurement
computation for applications like linear displacement,
shaft position, potentiometer replacement,
and fluidic pumps. |
| |
| Benefits
include high sensitivity (The HMR4007 is used
with low cost magnets like AlNiCo and ceramic.),
insensitivity to shock and vibration, and
the ability to withstand wide variations in
the gap between the sensor and the magnet.
The HMR4007 is designed with Honeywell's patented
solid-state magnetoresistive sensor technology. |
| |
| Honeywell's
complete family of magnetic sensor-based products
offer high sensitivity for accurate compassing,
remote vehicle detection monitoring, virtual
reality, position sensing, security systems
and medical instrumentation. For more information
