Liquid level sensor is electrically robust
The Sensing and Control business of Honeywell has launched a new, enhanced liquid level sensor, for accurate detection of the presence or absence of liquid
Typical applications include measuring rpm in gearboxes, monitoring camshaft and crankshaft speed and position, and measuring transmission speed.
GTN sensors use a magnetically biased Hall effect integrated circuit to accurately sense movement of ferrous metal targets.
This specially designed IC, together with discrete protection, diagnostic circuitry and a permanent magnet, is sealed in a rugged, probe style housing.

Tiny pressure sensor comes to the surface
The Sensing and Control business of Honeywell has introduced the 26PC SMT (surface mount technology) Series sensor, the first product offering in its 20PC SMT pressure sensor family
The probe, which is available in several lengths, is designed to be flange mounted and has an integrated connector for ease and speed of installation.
The integral electronic diagnostics feature enables detection of open or short circuits in the power supply line by monitoring levels in the sensor output.
Sealed to IP67 (and to IP6K9K, when fitted with the appropriate connector assembly), the GTN Series offers all-round high environmental performance gear tooth sensing.
The sensor has a digital, current sinking output (open collector) and a gear speed measuring range of 2Hz up to 9kHz (depending on target).
Available with either a 12 or 24V power supply, the device has a nominal supply voltage of 8-16 or 21-32V.
The operating temperature is -40 to +125C.
