Honeywell's SMART Position Sensor

The new SMART Position Sensor provides value to our customers by:

  • Honeywell Smart Position SensorLight weight: More than 50% lighter in weight than LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) technology
  • Accurate: Capable of accurately measuring values down to 0,05 mm [0.002 in]; resolution of up to 16 bits
  • Robust: As there are no moving parts within the sensing element, Honeywell can seal the sensor, making it more resistant to vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures
  • Adaptable: Electronics on-board make it easily adaptable to most commercial platforms, often eliminating extra external electronics
  • Reduces total cost of ownership: Built-in temperature compensated output can eliminate customers having to expend engineering resources to build their own output algorithms
  • Reliable and durable: Non-contact design reduces wear and tear, improving reliability and durability, and minimizing downtime
  • Simplifies design-in: Easy-to-configure sensor array fits virtually any linear movement path, simplifying design-in
  • Easy to install: Installation takes four simple steps (1: position device; 2: drill holes; 3: mount sensor; 4: locate magnet/connect three wires) vs. up to 14 steps some competitive products require, simplifying installation and reducing set-up costs
  • Cost effective: Because the product consists of multiple sensors built into one array, one device typically replaces multiple sensor and switch components that competitive solutions often require, eliminating extra wiring, connections, and external components
  • Flexible: Air gap of up to 3,0 ± 2,5 mm [0.118 ± 0.098 in] between sensor and magnet expands application opportunities; several output options (analog standard; CAN bus and RS232 interface available upon request)
  • Safe: Built-in redundancy provides additional safety benefits
