Description
Curtiss Wright’s Williams Controls WM-830 is a cost effective rotary sensor utilising proven Hall-effect technology to ensure accurate and reliable measurement of angular position.
Mechanical engagement with the rotating portion of the sensor is via a slotted cavity, while the electrical output span corresponds to a rotation of 48.5°.
Operation is from a 5V supply, typically derived from the electronic control unit to which the sensor is connected. Dual on-board circuits are electrically isolated from each other, so providing truly independent voltage outputs – one at 50% the level of the other – thereby allowing the host electronics to detect output errors. Further integrity is provided as the outputs enter pre-defined states in the event of connection errors to the sensor. PWM output options are also available on request.
A robust mechanical design offers exception levels of performance with respect to water and dust, shock, vibration and temperature, meaning the sensor is ideal for use in hostile, on- and off-highway vehicle environments.
Connection to the WM-830 is via the industry-standard, Packard Electric ‘Metri-Pack’ 150 series of connectors, which offer high-reliability performance across all operating conditions.
Williams Controls products comprise of electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic throttle controls, configurable joysticks, adjustable pedal systems, sensors, hand controls and armrest systems for use on all types of commercial vehicles. The products are the legacy of the Williams Controls company founded in 1937 and acquired by Curtiss-Wright in 2012.
