ompact, Engineered Fluid Dispensing Systems that increase throughput, improve yields, and
new state-of-the-art triax MEMS shock accelerometer capable of measuring up to 60,000g. Designed for shock testing, the new PCB series 3503A1060KG features three single-crystal silicon MEMS sensing elements and represents the state-of-the-art industry technology for miniature, high-amplitude, DC response acceleration sensors. The device is capable of measuring long duration transient motion as well as responding to and surviving extremely fast rise times typically found in high-g shock events. The air-damped acceleration sensing element, micromachined from silicon, is manufactured using the latest advances in etching techniques and equipment. The tiny element measures just 2.5 x 1.7 x 0.9mm and incorporates a seismic mass, protective over-range stops and a full active piezoresistive Wheatstone bridge.

Penny + Giles introduces new low-profile magnet-activated rotary position sensor P
enny + Giles – a business group of Curtiss-Wright Controls and designer and manufacturer of position sensors, solenoids and joystick controllers – has introduced the NRH275DR, a new rotary
position sensor featuring a slim, low-profile sensor housing and separate permanent magnet assembly. With no contacting mechanical parts that can wear, this latest addition to Penny + Giles’ growing
NRH family of rotary position sensors is ideal for specialist vehicle applications in extreme and hostile environments where installation space may be limited. Examples include tip control for articulated dump trucks, bin lift control for garbage and refuse collection vehicles and four-wheel-steer function for city road sweeping vehicles. The lightweight, low-profile design of the sensor also means it is suitable for throttle position sensing and feedback for motorsport applications. The NRH275DR features a fully encapsulated 12-bit Hall effect sensor system that can withstand
high shock and vibration, can operate at temperatures from -40°C to +140°C and is IP67-rated for dust protection and water immersion to a depth of 1m for 24 hours – more than adequate for the majority of applications on vehicles. The Penny + Giles rotary sensor operates from a 5Vdc regulated supply and has two independent
sensor power supplies and outputs that enable full redundancy. The NRH275DR is factory-programmed to allow a wide range of output configurations including CH1/CH2 angle, output type and output direction. It also features a very low maximum output signal noise of less than 1mV, which means no additional signal filtering is required on the output signals. The two-part design of the sensor and magnet assembly offers maximum customer flexibility when
mounting, accommodating up to ±2mm of radial magnet offset and a permissible air gap of 2mm to 5mm between the sensor and magnet. Measurements can even be made transmissively through non- magnetic materials. Further flexibility is achieved as one of the sensor’s signals can be configured for use as a control function, while the other can be used for position monitoring or display purposes.
