MALVERN, Pa. - Jan. 23, 2012 - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
(NYSE: VSH) today released a new linear position sensor
featuring non-contacting Hall effect technology. Covering
short electrical strokes to 10 mm max and available with a
spring return system, the is optimized for applications in
harsh environments requiring long-life sensors.
gives it the ability to perform in conditions involving
high-frequency vibrations up to 20 G and shocks up to 50 G.
With a long life of 10 million cycles, the device is ideal
for short stroke measurements in industrial applications
including tillers heads for fork lift steering; tractor
gear shifts; truck tilt sensors; and pressure measurement
and pedal displacement systems.
The features accurate linearity down to ± 1 %. The sensor
offers analog ratiometric or digital PWM output, and
provides continuous performance for the life of the device
with no drift of linearity. The operates with a supply
voltage of 5 V ± 10 % and supply current of < 16 mA
typical, and withstands + 20 V overvoltages and
