Penny + Giles, a business group
of Curtiss-Wright Controls
and a designer and
manufacturer of high precision
sensing technology, has introduced
the NRH280DP – a new dual output
‘no contact’ rotary position sensor.

The NRH280DP uses proven,
non-contact programmable Halleffect
technology to provide OEMs
with reliable and accurate rotary
measurement in arduous industrial
and off-highway environments. This
low-profile sensor, with a 6.5mm
profile, provides numerous
programmable options.

Designed for operation in extreme
temperatures, the NRH280DP
enables system designers to quickly
and easily improve the safety and
integrity of control systems. It is
currently used in diverse applications
including articulated dump trucks
(tip control), garbage collection
vehicles (bin lift control), road
sweeping vehicles (4-wheel steering),
and Formula 1 racing cars (throttle
pedal position).

Parameter options include
measurement range, and clockwise
or anticlockwise direction output.
