Honeywell’s SMART Position Sensor, Rotary Configuration, may also potentially be used in several industrial applications. In solar panels, the sensor may be used to accurately position the solar panel. The device’s wide operating temperature range spans typical outdoor conditions helping to provide reliable, repeatable output in cold winters and hot summers. Additionally, non-contact magnetoresistive technology reduces contact failures, eliminating mechanical failure mechanisms. This technology can also reduce wear, warranty replacements and machinery downtime. In wind turbines, the sensor may be used to monitor and precisely control blade pitch to maximize wind loading on the blade. It may also help the low speed shaft by protecting the shaft from damage. Another application in wind turbines is in the turbine’s nacelle to accurately monitor and detect the position and direction of the nacelle. The sensor provides accurate position sensing to maximize energy efficiency by utilizing correct blade placement. IP67 and 69k ratings help protect the sensor from dusty, wintry, outdoor conditions.
