Curtiss-Wright Introduces New CAN-bus Rotary Position Sensor, NRH27C
Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial division has announced the launch of the NRH27C, a non-contact rotary position sensor which is suitable for use on specialty on- and off-highway vehicles utilizing CAN-bus communications.
Developed by Curtiss-Wright’s legacy brand of Penny & Giles, the NRH27C extends the company’s recently-introduced NRH271 and NRH272 family and shares many similar features and benefits. These include a low-profile sensor body, small footprint, CAN-bus/J1939 communications and a fully encapsulated, IP69K-rated design that offers exceptional performance against water, dust, shock, vibration, and temperature. This makes the range ideal for use by OEMs of on- and off-highway vehicles that are destined for use in challenging environments, and as a cost-effective solution for medium volume applications where a degree of customization may be required.
Within the CAN messaging structure of the vehicle, the NRH27C’s two independent Hall effect sensing signals allow for error checking of the positional data, which addresses the needs of safety-critical applications. Additionally, an onboard diagnostic function means predefined error messages can be sent to define the present state of the sensor. The versatile, factory-programmable electronics can also be easily set to different Baud rate, Node ID and Frame rates according to system requirements.
- CAN-bus/SAE-J1939 output
- Wear-free with no mechanical degradation
- An optimal combination of performance, safety, and cost
- Concentric magnet assembly offsets up to 2mm
- Multiple magnet options
Contained in a 9.5-mm low-profile housing and available with industry-standard AMP Superseal, Deutsch DT04 series connectors, or simple 18AWG flying-leads for customer termination, the NRH27C can be powered from a 5 Vdc regulated or 9-30 Vdc unregulated supply and provides a full 360° output range.
