ASM Automation Sensorik Messtechnik GmbH: Magnetic Rotary Position Sensors for Use in Medical Applications
Moosinning, April 2012. This non-contact position sensor uses an external position magnet to reliably provide an absolute output signal over a 0 to 360 degree measurement range.
By using an external magnet, this sensor provides continuously, wear-free operation. The maximum measurement range is 360 degrees and may be ordered with smaller measurement ranges in 15 degree increments. The sensor output is an analog voltage signal, 0.5 V to 4.5 V. For the PRAS20 series, 0.5 to 10V and 4 to 20 mA outputs are also available. A redundant output is an available option in the PRAS20 series.
The ultra-compact PRAS21 series housing has a height of less than ¼ inch that is rated IP60 that allows it to fit into the tightest medical equipment applications. The circuit board is fully potted to provide a high level of shock and vibration resistance. The resolution is rated at 0.03 % of full scale (60…360°) and 0.1 % full scale (15…45°), the repeatability is ±0.03 % (60…360°); ±0.1 % (15…45°) and linearity is ±0.5% full scale.
The favorable price per performance and ultra-flat profile of the PRAS21 series make it uniquely suited for numerous medical OEM applications, such as surgical table positioning. In medical applications that do not require water tight housings, the PRAS20/21 series position sensor can replace large, costly sensors with metal housings. The sensor is quickly and easily installed with M3 bolts.
About ASM
We develop, manufacture and market mechatronic Position Sensors for use in industrial applications. One of our other fields of business is the sale of sensor and measuring technology products from well-known partners. Thanks to our wealth of expertise, amassed over several decades, we have attained a leading role in the field of position measurement and have set industry standards. We provide well-known national and international companies with top-quality, high-tech products.
Our customers include companies from all sectors of industry, such as mechanical and plant engineering, automotive production, aeronautics, medical engineering, the steel industry, wood processing, commercial vehicles, the foodstuffs industry and warehousing technology. Our innovative products enable us to help automate processes, test systems and components and increase safety in the workplace.
With around 80 employees at ASM's headquarters in Moosinning near Munich, and at sales offices throughout Germany, France and the UK, we manufacture both series-produced products and customized solutions.
