CAM Axial Sensor Development Kit

Axial Sensor Development Kit

CambridgeIC’s Axial sensor technology measures the linear position of a contactless target. Targets are free to rotate about an axis that points along the measuring direction.

This arrangement suits applications such as float level sensing, where the height of an object is detected and the measurement is immune to its rotation.

The Axial Sensor Development Kit is a set of parts that work together for demonstration, evaluation and development. An Axial Sensor connects to a development board including a CambridgeIC CAM312 processor IC. This connects to a PC, using a CTU Adapter for SPI to USB conversion.

CambridgeIC CTU Software is available for Windows 10 PCs. It takes measurements, and allows customers to view and analyse results.

Kit Features:

• CAM312 Development Board78mm Axial Type 3.2 Sensor Assembly
• L20mm Target samples
• CTU Adapter for SPI to USB conversion
• PC software for Windows 10

Power supply over USB. No additional PSU is needed.

Axial Sensor Technology Benefits:

• Works with contactless, free rotating targetTruly non-contacting, big gaps possible
• Tolerant of gap change and misalignment
• Robust against mechanical shock
• Stable across temperature
• Customers can build sensors and targets themselves for cost effective embedded solution
