Positioning Sensors

Electromechanical actuators are exceedingly suitable for traversing between intermediate positions and for continuous adjustment in controlling and metering tasks.

For traversing to any position or for continuous adjustment sensors for path measuring are integrated within the electromechanical actuators.

Position sensor EPS 06		Potentiometer / DMU

Actual value output via analogue or PWM -signal Incremental output signal (1024 digits per cycle) Digital resolution less then 0,01 mm Overload monitoring system via rpm monitor		analogue actual position value no reference move needed accuracy in millimeter range
Application: positioning application analogue feedback signal overload protection movement control		Application: low precise positioning application analogue feedback signal for synchron operation of two actuator
Incremental sensor		Absolut value encoder

digital impuls or sin/cos signals reference move needed high accuracy		digital position value (multiturn positioner) no reference move needed max. accuracy
Application: medium precise positioning application control signal for synchron operation of two or more actuators		Application: high precise positioning application absolute position feedback signal via bus-interface (Profibus, CAN-Bus,..)
