The SRH880 has a 12mm diameter shaft and is presented in an 88mm housing with a protection rating of IP68M. It is fully submersible, and features a double bearing support “with superior shaft strength for increased reliability in heavy-duty applications”.
The sensor operates from an 8-30Vdc unregulated supply, and provides an electrical output over 90°, 180°, 270° or the full 360° range.
Meanwhile, Penny + Giles has developed a protective boot for its JC120 single axis fingertip joystick. Designed for use in environments where aggressive materials are present, the boot protects against the ingress of dust and dirt.
The boot is made from neoprene, chosen for its resistance to deterioration from fats, oils, greases and many other petroleum-based products.
The JC120 is typically used in remote control ‘chest packs’, robotics, remote camera controls and agricultural and material handling equipment. A small joystick measuring 26.5mm width (28.5mm with the boot fitted) it features a pivoting lever design that provides one axis of forward and reverse movement and a spring-return to centre.
