V-Twin Magnetic Field Sensor from Balluff

April 1, 2009 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Florence, KY – Balluff’s new BMF V-Twin magnetic field sensor is two sensors with one connector. This low-profile design allows users to reduce installation time and cost by requiring only one four-conductor cable with either M8 or M12 connections for two end-of-stroke sensors. Because the BMF V-Twin has just one connection for two sensors, it […]

Pulsed-Inductive Sensor for Low-Cost Linear Position Feedback

March 19, 2009 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Florence, KY – BIW Pulsed-Inductive sensors from Balluff only look like traditional resistive linear potentiometers. However, unlike linear potentiometers, BIW sensors use patented, non-contact technology to provide continuous, absolute, analog position feedback. Because there is no mechanical contact, wear is not an issue. BIW sensors are available at a price level equal to or lower […]

Upgrade your motion system

January 15, 2009 By Editor Leave a Comment

Motion systems require upgrades for several reasons including obsolescence, cost, or technolog advancement. Such progress, however, is often accompanied by design and implementation challenges. How you handle these challenges will determine the success or failure of the change. Recent advancements in field programmable gate array technology enable digital servo amplifiers like the Danaher Motion S200 […]
