CAM Standard Target

Standard position target for use with Central Tracking Unit (CTU) and sensor PCB

A target for electronically marking the position of moving parts. Use in conjunction with CambridgeIC’s resonant inductive sensors and Central Tracking Unit (CTU) family of single chip processors to provide high-quality position data to a host device.
The target includes an inductively coupled resonant circuit comprising a ferrite rod wound with a coil connected to a capacitor. The circuit’s resonant frequency matches the operating frequency of the CTU. The high Q-factor of the resonator enables high resolution position sensing.

Features:

• Non contact: wireless and wear free
• Compact
• Sealed
• For both linear and rotary position sensing
• Holes for alignment and/or mounting

Performance:

• Linear magnetic axis alignment ±0.1mm
• Rotary magnetic axis alignment ±0.2˚
• Typical Q-factor 115
• Operating Temperature -20˚C to +85˚C
• Max rotation speed 6000rpm
• Max linear acceleration 4000ms-2

Applications:

• Motion control
• Actuator position feedback
• Insert for precision front panel knobs and sliders
• Valve position marking
• Industrial potentiometer wiper replacement
• RVDT rotor replacement
• Optical encoder code ring replacement
