Severe Environmental Proximity Sensors
MICRO SWITCH FW severe environment
proximity sensors are designed for use in
harsh environments - aircraft, ordnance,
marine, mass transit, etc. They are well
suited to applications with particularly demanding requirements on temperature,
vibration, shock, and EMI/lightning resistance.
Because of the nearly infinite combination of ‘‘special’’ requirements imposed
by the different applications, it is impossible to list all products in a catalog. Many
FW sensors have been custom-designed
to fit the needs of a specific customer. For
example, FW sensors have been designed to operate directly in high-pressure hydraulic systems; to work without
performance degradation in high radiation environment; and to count projectiles at rates of 4000/minute in the highshock, high vibration environment of a
‘‘Gatling’’ gun.
FW Series
The development of these demanding
designs has given MICRO SWITCH a
wealth of applications engineering expertise, with years of experience in aviation
and related proximity position sensing.
The FW sensors shown in this catalog are
examples only, to demonstrate capability
and variety. MICRO SWITCH field engineers will be glad to work with customers,
to define their unique requirements and
arrive at a design particularly suited to
those needs.
MICRO SWITCH manufactures onepiece proximity sensors in two different
technologies - Eddy Current Killed Oscillator or ECKO (our 100FW series) and Hall
Effect (200FW series). The two-piece,
300/400FW series are balanced bridge,
variable inductance devices.
Each of these technologies has unique
features, and choice of technology must
be based on application needs. The features chart below addresses some of the
major points.
These sensors come in two distinct packaging concepts. One-piece, as the name
implies, contain the sensing element and
the associated conditioning electronics in
a single package. Two-piece devices
have only a passive sensing element in
the sensing package, with remote electronics packaged separately, allowing location of the sensitive electronic components in a more sheltered environment,
up to 250 feet away from the sensor.
