New SG-Series Position Monitor from Electro-Sensors Measures Precise Repetitive Movement in Clam Shell Bucket Applications
Minnetonka, MN—October 25, 2010—Electro-Sensors, Inc. announces the SG1000E Position
Monitor, designed for measuring linear and rotary movement in clam shell bucket applications.
The E-model is the newest addition to the company’s line of SG-Series Position Monitors, which
measure rotary movement up to 6 turns as well as repetitive linear movement. With a complete
monitoring system housed in a compact and rugged explosion-proof NEMA 4X enclosure, SGSeries
Position Monitors provide accurate positional feedback for precise process control—even
in harsh industrial applications. SG-Series Position Monitors work with electrically, pneumatically,
hydraulically or manually driven shafts.
SG-Series Position Monitors are designed for rotary applications that require a full-scale rotation
up to 6 full turns and as small as 5.6 degrees (approximately 1/64th-turn). Monitors can measure
rotational position with an end-to-end rotation of precisely 360 degrees (exactly 1 full turn) before
reversing or repeating. SG-Series Position Monitors also measure linear position in applications
that feature a pneumatic or hydraulic actuator to drive end-to-end linear movement or where the
driveshaft is not accessible.
SG-Series Position Monitors feature a 4-20mA output to provide independent and accurate
positional feedback to an external device, such as a PLC or remote display. The optional remote
display (TR400 SGA) offers two relays for desired gate or valve position indication and a 4-20mA
proportional output. Plus, the non-volatile memory retains gate position in the event of a power
loss.
Applications: Electro-Sensors’ SG-Series Position Monitors provide the precision and flexibility
required by a broad range of industrial applications, including:
• Clam shell buckets
• Damper valves
• Rotary valves
• Slidegates
- Rack & pinion
- Hydraulically driven
- Pneumatically driven
• Rotary distributors
