Intelligent 355 degree rotary position sensor is a sensor with information processing functions, with a microprocessor, with the acquisition, processing, exchange of information, is integrated sensor and microprocessor products. Smart grid and many intelligent systems, not alone, but a large number of equipment and technology products. Which in the monitoring of the first line of the sensor device is small, but absolutely important. In the development of smart grid, the use of traditional sensors have been unable to some of the power of the product quality, fault location, etc. to make quick and direct measurement and on-line monitoring. The use of intelligent sensors can be directly measured, the product quality indicators, and failure to measure (such as temperature, pressure, flow). For example, in order to meet the needs of the development of smart grid, China launched a fiber-optic current sensing system, the realization of the pipeline current sensing system, all-digital closed-loop control, with stability and good linearity, high sensitivity to meet the large range of high range Accuracy measurement requirements.

At present, the smart sensor has become a hot sensor and the forefront of international research. To develop intelligent sensor research, should take leaps and bounds development ideas, is the occupation of the future of information technology commanding height of the key measures. The future, digital, information technology, Internet of Things technology integration, will drive the continuous turn potentiometer to the intelligent direction. With the sensor manufacturing cost reduction, the market demand for sensor function more and more comprehensive and professional, intelligent sensor will also be universal and application.

With the advent of the Internet of Things revolution, the world began to enter the information age. In the process of using information, the first thing to be solved is to obtain accurate and reliable information, and the linear potentiometer position sensor is to obtain the natural and the production of information in the field of the main ways and means, it has been a great development. At present, the sensor is moving in a sensitive, accurate, adaptable, compact and intelligent direction. In this process, the fiber-optic sensor sensor family, a new member of favor.

The application of fiber optic sensors is very broad, mainly in the following areas:

    Application of interferometric gyroscope and potentiometer rotary position sensors in bridge, dam and oilfield in urban construction. Fiber optic sensors can be embedded in concrete, carbon fiber reinforced plastics and various composite materials for testing stress relaxation, construction stress and dynamic load stress, in order to assess the short-term bridge construction phase and long-term operation of the structural performance.

    In the power system, it is necessary to measure the temperature, current and other parameters, such as the high-voltage transformers and large motor stator and rotor temperature detection, due to electrical sensors susceptible to electromagnetic interference, can not be used in such occasions, Fiber Optic Sensor. For example, distributed optical fiber temperature sensor is a high-tech developed in recent years for real-time measurement of temperature field distribution in space.

    For the production of flammable and explosive materials and equipment temperature measurement. Fiber-optic sensors in essence is a fire explosion-proof devices, it does not require the use of flameproof measures, very safe and reliable. Compared with the electrical sensors, both reduce costs and improve sensitivity.

    In addition, it can also be used in railway monitoring, rocket propulsion system and oil well testing and so on.

    In short, the Internet of things and fiber-optic sensing are complementary and mutually reinforcing role. Fiber has the advantages of broadband, high capacity, long distance transmission and multi-parameter, distributed and low energy sensing. Optical fiber sensing can continue to learn new technologies of optical fiber communication (such as new semiconductor light source, new fiber), new devices, various fiber optic Throttle Motor Position Sensor are expected to be widely used in the Internet of things. Optical fiber technology in the Internet of Things has a very broad application prospects, all-optical Internet of things in the future is expected to bring a new form of things.

A potentiometer rotary position sensors adapted to receive and sense the rotational position of a shaft

A potentiometer rotary position sensors adapted to receive and sense the rotational position of a shaft, the potentiometer having a first axis of rotation, the shaft having a second axis of rotation, said first and second axis being nominally aligned, said potentiometer and said shaft being subject to relative movement at which these axes exhibit relatively small misalignments, said potentiometer comprising:
a casing having a central opening for receiving said shaft, the opening having single axis joystick

, the shaft having an axis defining the second axis;
a resistor support held in fixed position within the casing, said support having an electrical resistance layer;
a spring carrier adapted to be coupled to said shaft and disposed in the casing, said carrier being rotatable about a third axis, which when the shaft is not received in the opening is aligned with the first axis;
a slider spring fastened in the casing at the spring carrier and being in sliding contact with said layer; and means disposed in the casing for coupling said carrier to said shaft in a connection at which when said first and second axis of rotation are relatively misaligned, the casing will pivot so that its third axis will intersect the second axis and define a small angle therewith, whereby contact pressure exerted by the spring upon the support remains essentially constant in the presence and absence of said misalignment.

Linear position sensor manufacturing industry

Optimizing your manufacturing processes can increase your chances of gaining higher productivity and return on investment. HRSensor, a trusted name in the linear sensors manufacturing industry, provides components that will help achieve your business goals. The FCP22E potentiometer

is a linear sensing device used for tracking position and acquiring the preferred output in a variety of applications. It comes in lengths from 10mm to 2000mm and offers a low form factor of less than 0.5mm, making it the thinnest linear sensor available today. It is also economical and easy to use. You can simply mount it on a surface and activate it using a spring-loaded wiper.

linear sensors consists of more than 15 base models

Within these groups you will find different technologies for sensors such as potentiometer, hall effect, inductive.
Our program of linear sensors

consists of more than 15 base models, each of them with numerous adaptation possibilities. The majority of our sensors has a modular design and offer a very cost effective way to meet special application requirements, not only when the quantity is several thousand but also for volumes of only 10pcs or so.
Our Linear position sensors are used in a great number of different applications such as Maritime, Linear actuators etc see the Applications section for more info. With these sensors we meet the different requirements for IP-sealing, vibrations and shock that have to be fulfilled in harsh environments
We always put quality in the first room as which also shows on the precision and linearity performance of the sensors. You will find many different options for stroke lengths, output signals, connectors, cables, mounting options, shaft designs etc.
