APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Outboard Steering Angle
To safe the weight and packaging space of a mechanical system between steering control and marine engine an electrical system is installed. The steering angle is measured by a play resistant arc position sensor with the magnet installed on the steering shaft. The sensor can pick up the movement directly at the source.
Outboard Throttle Control
Outboard motors can develop high temperatures and are constantly exposed to saltwater, therefore the sensor controlling the throttle must also withstand these environments. For custom developments, we can fit our sensors with the appropriate cables, connectors and PCBs to ensure a long product life.
Engine Speed Control
The marine engine control system depends on constant feedback of speed and direction by actuator stations to the control stations. Our miniature rotary position sensors allow integration in space constraint applications such as the actuators stations.
