ASM has introduced a magnetoresistive non-contact position sensor.
The new recently developed sensor designated Posimag uses a compact non-contact sensor head which moves above a magnetic strip.
It is robust and fast, and has high resistance to dust, moisture and many fluids.
A choice of configurations is possible and resolution to within 5 microns can be achieved.
Power supply to the sensor can be between +5v and +30v to produce an equivalent incremental encoder output with differential push-pull for compatibility with LD, TTL, HTL and CMOS.
