Position Monitor suits clam shell bucket applications.

Press Release Summary:




Compatible with electrically, pneumatically, hydraulically, or manually driven shafts, SG1000E measures rotary movement up to 6 turns as well as repetitive linear movement. It come in explosion-proof NEMA 4X enclosure and suits rotary applications that require full-scale rotation and up to 6 full turns with full-scale sweep as small as 5.6°. Monitor can measure rotational position with end-to-end rotation of 360° before reversing/repeating and provides 4-20 mA output.

New SG-Series Position Monitor from Electro-Sensors Measures Precise Repetitive Movement in Clam Shell Bucket Applications



Minnetonka, MN-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, SG-Series 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
