Vishay Intertechnology Inc. has released a throttle position sensor in hollow- and D-shaft versions that features Hall effect technology for applications in harsh environments. The Hall effect technology of the 981 HE gives it the ability to perform in conditions involving high-frequency vibrations up to 20 G and shocks up to 50 G over a temperature range of –45°C to +125°C, providing a strong advantage over other technologies. The sensor is optimized for foot pedal position sensors, throttle position sensors, steering position sensors, drive-by-wire, lift and shuttle position sensors, tilt control and tilt positioning feedback, and suspension system position sensors in marine, avionics, fork lift trucks, farm equipment, cranes, and automotive applications. With all electrical angles available up to 360° with no dead band, the device features accurate linearity down to ±0.5%. The sensor offers a long life greater than 10 million cycles for the D-shaft version, and greater than 5 million cycles for the hollow-shaft version.
