System Features

Sentrinsic's technology platform is very flexible, and it can be applied across multiple platforms. It is a great solution for any continuous linear or rotary position feedback application, with a variety of possible output options.
Position feedback

  • Continuous output
  • Digital (Serial, DeviceNet, CAN 2.0, QEI, PWM, etc.)
  • Analog (0-10 VDC, 4-20 mA, etc.)
  • Virtual limit switches
  • Field programmable
  • PLC changeable

Even if your customers don't use sensor output for closed loop feedback, there are other ways you can use position feedback, along with embedded logic, to improve your product's capabilities.

Embedded logic examples

  • Operator, Equipment Safety
    • Runaway - Warning if safe velocity is exceeded
    • Obstructions - Warning if actuator stops in mid-cycle
    • Vibration - Warning if vibration exceeds threshold
  • Monitoring, Maintenance
    • Usage - Cycle counts, total actuated displacement, or even usage in specific bands of the stroke for a more accurate usage profile
    • Stroke profile monitoring - Monitor changes in stroke characteristics to diagnose wear, improve quality
