BEI Duncan Electronics Introduces the Series 7000 Non-Contacting Angular Position Sensor -NCAPS- Featuring Extremely Thin Profile and Multiple Programmable Outputs.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers TUSTIN, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2002 Duncan Electronics, a division of BEI Bei (pā, bā), river, c.200 mi (320 km) long, formed by the union of two headstreams in the Nanling Mts., N Guangdong prov., S China. It flows S into the Xi River, E of Guangzhou, to form the Pearl River delta. Technologies Inc., has introduced the new NCAPS NCAPS National Corrective Action Prioritization System NCAPS naval coordination and protection of shipping (US DoD) NCaps Capabilities with No Sub-Fields (R) Thin Profile (Non-Contacting Angular Position Noun 1. angular position - relation by which any position with respect to any other position is established spatial relation, position - the spatial property of a place where or way in which something is situated; "the position of the hands on the clock"; "he Sensor). Offering an extremely thin profile solution for motion control, rotary position, or steering angle sensing, this NCAPS Thin Profile unit measures less than just 8 mm (0.21 inches) in thickness without housing. The 7000 Series features true 360 degree absolute rotary position feedback in a fully sealed package. It offers multiple outputs with up to four functional output channels. Each sensor can be factory programmed to give pulse width modulation See PWM. (PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) A modulation technique that generates variable-width pulses to represent the amplitude of an analog input signal. Like its fixed-width pulse density modulation (PDM) cousin, the output switching transistor is on more of the time for a ), Analog, Saw Tooth or Dual Triangle outputs. Custom outputs are also available. Based on a phase shift principle, it is not sensitive to input power fluctuations. The sensor has only one moving (electrically passive) part and mounts directly to a wide range of shaft configurations. This technology is well suited to environments that have particle contamination and humidity concerns where traditional optical-based systems typically lose their reliability. Other outstanding features include self-diagnostics, ultra low torque and a sealed six pin Packard Electric mating connector (part no. 120649930). The new sensor is also offered as a thin profile sub-module without housing for incorporation into OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and equipment. This sub-module is ideal in extremely high density packaging configurations where typical sensors will not fit. The NCAPS Thin Profile 7000 Series is available for immediate delivery. Pricing starts at $87 each in 1,000 piece quantities. A full data specification sheet and dimensions are available online at www.beiduncan.com.
