60mm Blade™ Sensor

60mm Blade Position Sensor

The Gill 60mm Blade Sensor is an inductive position sensor, capable of sensing the linear (0-60mm) or angular (0-90?) position of a metallic 'activator' mounted to or formed as part of the moving part of the application. This solid-state inductive position sensor utilises Gill's patented induction technology, with no moving sensor parts ensuring long sensor life and high reliability.

We generally recommend that the U-shaped activator is manufactured from mild-steel, however a range of other materials can be used (note: Stainless steel and aluminium cannot be used). Please contact us for activator design advice.

The inductive position sensor output options include Analogue (0-4.5V), Switch, Serial and PWM. The overall measurement range is fully configurable via free BladeCOM software, providing full-scale output over the required range to ensure the highest possible accuracy.

• 0-60mm Linear Measurement
• 0-90º Angular Measurement
• Fully Configurable Range (free calibration software provided)
• IP67 Environmental Protection - Fully Submersible
• Analogue, PWM, Serial & Switch Outputs as Standard
• -40ºC to +85ºC Standard Temperature Range (-40ºC to +125ºC Option)

The 60mm Blade Sensor Demo Kit provides a simple, easy to implement means of evaluating the 60mm Blade sensor in linear and rotary measurement applications.

The kit is provided with a 60mm Blade Sensor, which is mounted to a rig capable of simulating rotary and linear movement. The sensor is built with RS232 compatible output, as well as PWM and analogue output connections to allow evaluation of all sensor output option performances.

60mm Blade Demo Kit Includes:

• 60mm Blade Sensor
• 60mm Sensor Rig
• Tinned Steel, Painted Steel and Copper Foil Activators
• 9V Battery
• BladeCOM Software and user guide
