Solid state digital position sensor
Gentech have introduced a new magnetic position sensor, which detects position displacements to tenths of a millimetre (or less) detecting either a North or a South pole
Gentech have introduced a new magnetic position sensor, which detects position displacements to tenths of a millimetre (or less) The sensor is an omnipolar (operates with a North or a South pole) device, performing equally well on either pole

Build your own liquid level sensor
New "pick 'n' mix" approach to liquid level sensors: Gentech has launched a new facility, enabling customers worldwide to design and "build" top entry liquid level sensors to their own specifications
Utilising magnetoresistive technology the sensor measures very weak magnetic fields (15 Gauss typical); this increased sensitivity enables longer sensing distances and provides a solution where other sensors fail to operate.
Gentech developed two extremely small and robust housings ideal for control and instrumentation applications.
The PS747 is small and low profile suitable for flush/surface mounting to a chassis and fully encapsulated in a Pocan housing.
Also, the PS847 is a threaded barrel Nylon 6.6 housing ideal for through panel fitting and adjustable towards the target.
Both are designed to give high resistance to mechanical stress.
The sensors operate with a supply voltage of 3.8 volts to 30 volts DC, with a supply current of 11ma and a maximum output current of 20ma.
The operating temperature range is -20 to +85C.
