Fiber optic sensor


Senyd fiber optic photoelectric sensor is a type of sensor that uses fiber optic technology to detect the presence or absence of an object. These sensors work by transmitting light through a fiber optic cable and detecting changes in the amount of light that is received at the other end. When an object is present, it can block or reflect the light, causing a change in the signal received by the sensor. Fiber optic photoelectric sensors are commonly used in industrial automation applications where high accuracy and reliability are required. They are ideal for applications where traditional sensors may not be suitable due to factors such as electromagnetic interference, harsh environments, or the need for long-distance sensing.

Senyd Rotary Encoder

Rotary encoders are required wherever physical quantities such as rotational speed, angle of rotation, velocity or acceleration are to be monitored. In combination with cable pulls, they can also measure linear movements and lengths.

Rotary encoders from Senyd are used in a wide variety of industries—from mechanical and plant engineering to material handling and the renewable energy sector. Whether heavy-duty, offshore or hazardous areas: Senyd offers the right incremental or absolute rotary encoder for all application requirements. 

With Senyd you can reliably record every movement in your application.

Optical vs. Magnetic Scanning

High resolutions can be easily achieved with Senyd optical rotary encoders. A code disk with radial slits is used for this purpose. An LED sends light through the radial slits to a receiver located on the other side of the code disc. The rotation of the disk modulates the light, and the receiver converts it into an electrical signal.

The magnetic rotary encoders from Senyd are particularly robust and therefore ideally suited for use in harsh environments. Due    to energy harvesting, the magnetic absolute rotary encoders do not require an external power supply to save their current position. As a result, they perform reliably even in the event of power failures.
