25.09.2014
Berlin – FSG introduces the new MH605-II-MU series of single-turn encoders. Thanks to a seawater-proof IP68 aluminum housing and a wide temperature range of -40 to +105 °C, the devices are suitable for very demanding environments. The encoders do not require a bearing point – the angle detection system features an external magnet. With a diameter of merely 13 mm and a weight of approx.10 g, they can be easily integrated into machines and plants with limited installation space. The units are available as different versions with a 12 Bit resolution and measuring ranges up to 360°.
Safe operation: FSG introduces new FS-MH series of pedal-actuated transmitters
Safe operation: FSG introduces new FS-MH series of pedal-actuated transmitters
03.04.2014
Berlin – FSG's new FS-MH line of pedal-actuated transmitters features additional sensor elements that ensure continuous actuation monitoring and error detection, thus increasing safety. Unintentional displacement, i.e. through spring breakage or coarse dirt, is detected and signaled by means of an error signal at the output. Thanks to a simple design, the new pedal-actuated transmitters are very cost-efficient. Manufactured from aluminum and stainless steel, they are IP67-protected and thereby ideally suited for use under rugged conditions. Typically, they are used as accelerator or brake pedals in excavators.
