Description
Penny & Giles NRH27C is a non-contacting CANbus output Rotary Position Sensor from the family of NRH27x series that offers the optimal combination of performance, safety and cost.
Features of the NRH27C non-contacting CANbus Rotary Position Sensor:
- Non-contacting, Hall-effect technology
- Wear free – unlimited mechanical life
- CANbus J1939 output
- Simple mounting, low-profile design
- 360° Measurement angle
- 5Vdc regulated or 9-30Vdc supply
- Dual Hall-effect sensors
- On-board diagnostics – pre-defined error messages
- Encapsulated electronics
- Sealing up to IP69K (connector dependent)
- AMP or Deutsch connector options
- Flying-lead option
- Protective cable conduit option
All variants utilise proven Hall-effect, sensing technology and are accommodated in a low-profile (9.5mm) housing with a compact footprint of just 36 x 35mm.
The full range of the digital output span corresponds to a rotation of 360°, and the positional information is determined by the angle of the supplied magnet relative to the sensor body. The maximum air gap between magnet and sensor is 7mm, while concentric offsets of up to 2mm can be tolerated with minimal impact on output linearity. The magnet can be supplied in a convenient carrier, housed in a bolt, as a plug or loose.
Innovative circuit design allows the sensor to be powered from a regulated 5V supply or a varying voltage in the range of 9-30V, such as a vehicle’s battery.
Two physically independent, Hall-effect sensing signals are sent separately with the CAN message structure, to allow for system error checking of the positional data meaning high- performing, safety-critical applications can easily be addressed. Furthermore, an on-board diagnostic function means pre-defined error messages can be sent to define the present state of the sensor. The versatile, factory- programmable electronics can be easily set to different baud and/or frame rates according to system requirements.
A fully-encapsulated design offers exceptional levels of performance with respect to water and dust, shock, vibration and temperature, meaning the sensor is ideal for use in hostile, on- and off-highway vehicle environments.
Connection options are industry-standard AMP Superseal (IP68 rated) or Deutsch DT04 series (IP67 rated) connectors, or simple flying leads for customer termination. The sensor can also be supplied with a protective conduit for the cabling.
The Penny & Giles product range comprises a broad selection of joysticks, sensors and solenoids for use on commercial vehicles and industrial equipment.
The products are the legacy of the Penny & Giles company founded in 1956 and acquired by Curtiss Wright in 2002.
The present-day product range includes: linear and rotary position sensors; LVDT and RVDT transducers; joysticks; studio faders; digital panel meters; and solenoid actuators for a wide range of industrial motion control applications.
Their joystick controls are suitable for commercial vehicle applications for both on- and off-highway use. These include construction and agricultural vehicles, material handling and other specialty vehicles. They are also suitable for use with industrial equipment such as robotics. Their finger-operated joystick controllers are designed for the smooth, precise control of critical functions in a variety of industrial applications where a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is required. They also have rugged joystick controllers are designed for the more demanding installations found within operator cabs for off-highway vehicles. A wide range of linear position sensors, tilt sensors, rotary sensors, linear displacement transducers and linear potentiometers that offer distinct advantages in reliability, stability and compactness.
