New Catalog "Sensors and Encoders for Angle and Inclination"


Elmhurst, IL (April, 2011) - ASM Sensors, Inc. has published a new, enhanced catalog that offers a complete range of rotary position sensors, POSIROT®, as well as single and dual axis inclinometers, POSITILT®.

The POSIROT® family utilizes a permanent magnet to translate the angular position to the sensing element. The PRAS/PRDS series uses an absolute, non-contact magnetic measurement technology. The PMIS series consists of an increment encoder with a MR-read head and a permanent magnet wheel with multiple magnetic poles. The PMIS series offers high resolution models that yield up to 300k+ pulses per revolution.

The POSITILT® family of inclinometers is based upon MEMS technology, which is known for its high accuracy, reliability and stability. These inclinometers are also available in rugged, stainless steel housings to ensure a long life even under extreme environmental conditions.

ASM Sensors, Inc. is a leading company in the development, manufacturing and marketing of linear and rotary position sensors as well as tilt sensors for use in industrial and commercial applications. With 30 years of experience in serving all sectors of industry, ASM sensors has set industry standards in position measurement by providing innovative products to help automate processes and to increase safety in the workplace. Additional to the products of this catalog the product lines are POSIWIRE® (cable extension position sensors), POSITAPE® (tape extension position sensors), POSIMAG® (magnetic scale position sensors) and POSICHRON® (magnetostrictive position sensors).

ASM Sensors, Inc. has its global headquarters in Moosinning, Germany near Munich which is ISO 9001:2000 certified and is where both standard products and customized solutions are manufactured. ASM products are sold worldwide through subsidiaries, sales offices and a network of representatives.
