Honeywell introduced in August 2015 its SNG-Q Series Quadrature Speed and Direction Sensor Platform for manufacturers who require a highly reliable and cost-competitive product. The sensor design and manufacturing use a platform-based approach that enables cost-competitiveness and mechanical and electrical configurability.
Features
- Wide operating temperature range: -40 to 150 °C [-40 to 302 °F]
- Environmental sealing: Moisture ingress protection rated to IP67/69K
- Robust electrical noise immunity: Electrical noise radiated immunity (EMC) rated to 100 volts/meter
- High frequency switching capability: 3 Hz to 20kHz
- Direction information from phase-shifted dual output signals
- Cable lead connection
- O-ring seal: Enables environmental sealing to mounting surface
- Supply voltage range: 4.5 V to 26 V
- Configurable: Variety of housing materials (i.e. plastic, stainless steel, brass, aluminum) and connection types
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
Industrial
- AC induction motors (e.g., used in material handling machines, agriculture machines and construction machines): May be used to help control power delivered by the ac induction motor
- Hydraulic pump motors used in material handling machines, agriculture machines and construction machines: May be used to help control power delivered by the hydraulic pump motor
- Escalators and elevators: May be used to help control speed and position
Transportation
- Hybrid electric transmissions used in heavy duty trucks, buses, agriculture machines and construction machines: May be used to help control power regulation of the hybrid system
- Wheel speed direction in material handling machines, agriculture machines and construction machines: May be used to detect the speed and direction of the wheels, which translates to the speed and direction of the machine
- Hybrid engines used in heavy duty trucks, buses, agriculture machines and construction machines: May be used to help control power regulation of the hybrid system
