SRS

The SRS280 sealed rotary sensor has been specially developed to meet the harsh requirements of today’s automotive, motorsport and industrial position sensing applications. Interchangeable with the popular 38mmfixing centres format, several innovative features are included to increase reliability and performance oversimilar devices already in service.

Crush proof inserts

The sensor housing is a highstrength glass-filled engineeringpolymer that has the added featureof stainless steel inserts around the mounting screw area sopreventing damage to the flangeby over-tightening. This permitsthe sensor to be re-used afterinstallation and allows minuteadjustments to be made.

Shaft attachment

The sensor shaft has the option oftwo attachment formats that areinterchangeable with existinginstallations. The sprung shaft style is a one-piece design that eliminatesfailures caused by two-piece designs.The shaft can be sealed to meet IP50 orIP68 protection.

Cable outlet

The sensor rear housing has an integrally moulded cable fully sealed to IP68, effectivelyeliminating the need to over-fit a moulded boot to improve sealing, thus saving the user timeand cost. To facilitate the addition of supplementary heatshrink sleeving over the cable, asmall lip on the moulding assists attachment at the sensor housing. Cable lengths of 0.5mand 2m can be specified.

SRS

The SRS880 submersible rotary sensor has been specially developed to meet the harsh operating environmentsin heavy duty industrial position sensing applications, including construction, agricultural and military vehicles,steelworks and power generating plants. The sensor is sealed to meet IP68M protection.

Choice of mounting

The sensor can be mounted by three M6clearance holes through the body, oralternatively by three M6 threaded attachmentholes in the front face. The sensor shaft has aflat on the diameter that would allow it to besecured by a locking screw, or an optional leverkit can be used to attach to the moving surface viaa selection of M8 threaded holes.

Rugged design - superior protection

The rugged, 88mm diameter housing in a choice of aluminium or stainless steel, includes a stainless steel operating shaftsupported by a heavy duty, twin ball-race bearing system for maximum strength. Environmental protection is achieved by a unique double sealing system that allows the sensor to operate fully submersed to 2m.
