R300 Series Temperature Sensor

– an RTD-based probe designed for high-temperature (300o C) Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems.

Ask An Engineer

Q: How long has Honeywell had explosion-proof switches in its portfolio?

AIn 1937, the MICRO SWITCH™ Hazardous Location switch family was introduced, ushering in safer working environments in industrial settings. These switches were engineered to ensure that volatile gases that entered the switch and exploded would not ignite gases outside the switch enclosure. The configuration and size of the switches made them the smallest explosion-proof switches on the market – a position they still hold today.

Welcome

In this issue we are pleased to highlight four new product introductions covering speed and direction, position, force and electronic safety in addition to more MICRO SWITCHTM brand 75th anniversary articles.

What’s New

Quadrature Speed and Direction Sensors

Our new SNDH Series sensors give manufacturers a simple, new alternative for replacing “sensor bearing” products. By separating the sensor and bearing in electric motor bearing applications, the user can service the sensor without dismantling the vehicle to remove the bearing from the motor drive.

Honeywell’s patent-pending, dual differential Hall-effect IC (integrated circuit) BiCmos technology provides enhanced accuracy. Potential applications include transmissions, hydraulic motors, pumps and gear boxes, steering assembly direction of rotation and replacement for bearings with integrated sensors.
Request information.

Bipolar Hall-effect Position Sensors

Honeywell’s SS40F/SS40G/SS41F/SS41G line of low-cost bipolar Hall-effect sensors are the answer for projects requiring high-volume applications and reduced lead time. The sensors provide enhanced sensitivity and operating temperature range and a faster output switching time than similar competitor offerings.

Potential applications include speed and RPM sensing, brushless dc (direct current) motor commutation, motor and fan control, tachometer, counter pickup and flow-rate sensing.
Request information.

Linear Force and Rotary Torque Sensors

Honeywell’s strain gage-based linear force and rotary torque sensors comprise integral load cells and signal conditioning electronics to replace existing flight control linkages and control cable quadrants in elevator, aileron and rudder flight control systems on business, regional and commercial aircraft.

The sensors offer flexibility in output format and the potential for lower cost assemblies. Available technologies include thick film strain gauge, metal foil strain gauge and spring LVDT.
Request information.

FF-SG Series AM2-L Safety Light Curtains

A longer scanning range, greater cable length and more mounting possibilities are among the features offered by the new FF-SG Series AM2-L. This series replaces the current AM2 series and brings enhanced features and quality in a competitively priced replacement product.

Potential applications include automotive plant floor comprising engine lines; welding and assembly; material handling; packaging equipment; printing machinery and paper guillotines; and various machine tool applications.

Choosing Safety Solutions

 

Are you a plant manager who knows you need safety switches on your equipment, but just aren’t sure how to select the best ones for the job? The process may not be as daunting as you might think.

 

Honeywell offers five Safety Solutions Packages to simplify the selection process. The packages cater for five common safety switch/safety control module configurations in machine protective guard applications, including pick and place packaging and assembly equipment; semiconductor manufacturing equipment; woodworking, textile, printing machinery and custom equipment; and plastic molding equipment. The Safety Solutions Packages are available through Honeywell authorized distributors and sales representatives.

The Switch is On … And On … And On …

MICRO SWITCHTM TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
 

The cool night air feels good, but your feet appreciate the warmth of the MICRO SWITCHTM component-controlled baseboard heater as you step onto the chilly tile floor. After a hot shower, courtesy of a MICRO SWITCHTM product in the water heater, it is time to shave, so you flick on your electric razor that uses MICRO SWITCHTM  technology. You pad down to the kitchen where you pop a frozen sausage breakfast patty in the microwave oven, yet you are not the least bit worried about radiation because you are guarded by MICRO SWITCHTM  technology-controlled interlocks.
Read on.
  

Quick

Fact

The need to attach lead wires directly to MICRO SWITCH™ switches was met by designing and providing the E and V die cast switch enclosures. The enclosures started out as zinc die castings, but were changed to a different material during WWII for weight saving in aircraft applications.
