1617081-3

1617081-3 is a type of Non-Contact Integrated Rotating Position Sensor, developed by Planar in the early 21st century. This sensor utilizes the magneto-resistive properties of thin film resistor materials, which allows the sensor to sense the movement of a rotating object without any physical contact between the sensor and the object itself.

The 1617081-3 is mainly used in applications requiring accurate, synchronized measurements of rotational position. These applications involve measuring speed, acceleration, torque, and displacement of a wide variety of rotating and linear objects in automated machinery, vehicle and aircraft engines, industrial robots and consumer electronics such as electric motors and digital clocks.

The 1617081-3 consists of five main components: the sensing element, the amplifier and interface circuit, the shielding, and the encoder. The sensing element, also known as a thin film resistor (TFR) absorbs the magnetic field of the rotating object detected by the sensor. This motion causes a change in the resistance of the TFR, which in turn changes the output resistance of the sensor.

The 1617081-3\'s amplifier and interface circuit amplifies the output of the TFR and converts it into a digital pulse width modulation (PWM) signal, which is then fed into the electronic interface circuit. This circuit is responsible for encoding the signal into a digital output format that is compatible with the particular application. Finally, the shielding serves to protect the sensor from electromagnetic interference from other sources.

In addition to the 5 components, the 1617081-3 also utilizes a number of different applications of the Principle of Conservation of Moment of Momentum. This principle states that the total angular momentum of an object, its linear momentum, and its rotational velocity remain constant in the absence of external torques. By applying this principle to the 1617081-3, it is possible to accurately measure the angular position of a rotating object without any physical contact between the object and the sensor.

Furthermore, the 1617081-3 also has the capability to measure linear acceleration, which is useful in applications such as robotic arms and motion control. This is made possible by the use of a differential impeller, which measures the differential acceleration of the object from two different points depending on its rotational position.

In conclusion, the 1617081-3 is a highly versatile and reliable Non-Contact Integrated Rotating Position Sensor, which is widely used in a variety of applications requiring accurate and synchronized measurements. With its ability to measure both angular and linear position, along with its immunity to electromagnetic interference, the 1617081-3 is an ideal choice for a variety of industrial, automotive, and consumer applications.
