Angular Position Transducers


The angular position transmitters from Camille Bauer are precision instruments and serves theacquisition of angular position and rotation, processing and the provision of measured values aselectric output signals for the downstream device. They converts the angular position of a shaft into aload-independent direct current signal, proportional to the angular position.

The robust design makes the angular position transmitters of the KINAX WT7xx series particularlysuited to applications in rough environments. The products are used in many areas, preferably inlarge machine construction, industrial plants, power plant construction, ship and offshore facilities,crane vehicles, large transport vehicles, dredger and drilling equipment.

The compact design of the KINAX to be installed or for surface mounting makes the angular positiontransmitters particularly suited to the installation in or mounting on devices and apparatuses. Theproducts are used in many applications, e.g. railway engineering, industrial plants, ship building, powerplant construction and gate positions.

Inclination Transducers

The inclination transmitter from Camille Bauer converts the tilt angle into a direct current signal,proportional to the angle. The output signal is either available as an analog signal in form of a currentchange or digitally with a CANopen or SSI bus interface.

Magnetoresistive angular position transmitters are extremely robust measuring systems without ashaft stop, fully hermetically encapsuled and capable of measuring contactless the angular positionof a permanent magnet, which is attached to the pendulum system.

Tilt angle values of a platform e.g. on cranes, heavy-duty vehicles, excavators and drilling machines,ships and offshore facilities stand for important measuring data as a part of the savety and controlsystem of that type of machinery. Angular measurement, for instance for equipment levelling isperformed in such cases.

For acquisition the angular position of a crane jib, lateral inclination of a vehicle, orientation of alifting platform, weir trap or comparable facilities, alignment of solar panels or concave mirrors theKINAX N702 can also be used.
