Position sensors detect, measure and convert physical parameters such as distance, angle and speed into an electrical signal that can be monitored and controlled. This article will focus on the 3048L-2-203 position sensor. It will look at the application field and working principle of this device.

What is a 3048L-2-203 Position Sensor?

The 3048L-2-203 is a type of opto-electronic position sensor which uses the light-beam interruption of an LED to detect motion and rotation along an electrically isolated axle. It is designed to be specifically used for motion measurements of rotating shafts and components.

The device has a width of 17.5mm, a height of 26mm, and a depth of 45mm. It has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and a power consumption of 5V, 5.5W. It features an output of active low (analogue, 0-5v) representing the rotational position.

Application Field

The 3048L-2-203 position sensor is primarily used in the automotive and aerospace industries, where reliable, accurate measurements are required. In particular, the device is used to measure the position of steering racks, throttle actuators, and other components in these industries.

The device is also used for motion measurements in industrial applications such as CNC machining and automated robotics. Its modular design can be used to create various systems and applications. It is also used in medical purposes, for measuring the position of surgical tools and other medical instruments.

Working Principle

The 3048L-2-203 position sensor operates using a light beam interruption principle, relying on the interruption of light beams produced by an LED. It uses two photodetectors, each placed at a specific distance from the LED, to detect the interruption of the light beam. These photodetectors measure the changes in light beam intensity linked to the position of a rotating shaft.

The device has a resolution of 8,300 pulses per rotation and is designed to measure rotations with a tolerance of <0.08 degree accuracy. The pulse output is measured through a 0-5V analogue signal. The device has a response time of 250 μs and a minimum signal frequency of 2.5kHz.

Conclusion

The 3048L-2-203 position sensor is a type of opto-electronic position sensor that is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and medical industries. It operates by detecting the interruption of light beams produced by an LED. The device measures the position of rotating shafts and components with a resolution of 8,300 pulses per rotation and a tolerance of <0.08 degree accuracy.
