Precision, down the line. Honeywell Sensing and Control
(S&C) Linear and Distance Position Sensors consist of Linear
Potentiometric and Ultrasonic products.
Potentiometer Sensors measure linear, rotary position or
displacement using technology developed for potential
military applications, then adapted to industrial segments. Our
proprietary conductive plastic delivers extensive temperature
range and infinite resolution, and provides precision position
measurement.
SMART Position Sensors (Superior Measurement, Accuracy,
Reliability, and Thinking.) enable highly accurate motion control,
improving operational efficiency and safety. They measure
linear, angular, or rotary movement of a magnet attached to
a moving object. Non-contact design eliminates mechanical

failure mechanisms, reducing wear and tear, improving reliability
and durability, and minimizing downtime. Robust in most harsh
environments. Easy to install, reducing set-up costs.
Ultrasonic Sensors measure time delays between emitted and
echo pulses, often accurately determining the sensor-to-target
distance. These non-contact-based products solve the toughest
sensing problems by detecting targets made of virtually any
material — regardless of color, transparency, shine or opacity.
Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) are high-end position sensors
with sensitive multi-axis motion control. These sensors measure
the motion of the equipment onto which they are attached and
deliver the data to the equipment’s control module, allowing the
operator to focus on other equipment functions, enabling more
precise control than can be achieved by using only the human
eye, thus increasing safety, stability and productivity.

• Lightweight • Simplies design-in • Self-
sensing.honeywell.com 9
diagnostics feature • Combined patented
MR sensor and ASIC technology • IP67
and IP69K sealing • RoHS-compliant
materials
Benets: Variety of configurations
provide application flexibility. Non-contact
design reduces wear and tear, improving
reliability and durability, and minimizing
downtime. Easy to intall, takes four simple
steps vs up to 14 steps some competitive
products require, simplifying installation
and reducing set-up costs. Because there
are no moving parts within the sensor,
Honeywell utilizes unique packaging
materials that make the sensor more
resistant to vibration, shock, and extreme
temperatures. Air gap of up to 8,5 ±1,0
mm [0.334 ±0.039 in] between sensor
and magnet and variety of available
output options (analog standard and
other RS232-type baud rates) expand
application opportunities. Adaptable,
non-contacting design allows customers
to eliminate unnecessary connections for
installation, thereby reducing installation
steps, installation time, and components.
Electronics on board allow for exible
packaging and component compatibility
with existing systems. Lighter in weight
than LVDT (Linear Variable Differential
Transformer) technology. High shock
and vibration resistance allows for use
in a wide variety of tough applications.
Combined patented MR sensor and
ASIC technology provides enhanced
differentiation and performance. IP67 and
IP69K sealing allow use in many harsh
applications. RoHS-compliant materials
meet Directive 2002/95/EC. Potential
applications include valve position,
material handling, plastic molding,
cutting and slitting, wafer handling, CNC
machines, passenger bus level position,
truck-mounted crane outrigger position,
heavy equipment attachment position,
hydraulic cylinders, gear shift position
in engine transmissions, aerial work
lift platform position, rail-road crossing
arms position, remote weapon systems
elevation, ground-based solar panels
elevation and azimuth, robotically-assisted
surgery equipment position, steering and
articulation angle, boom arm detection,

epoxy heads • High sealing IP67 • Pre-
leaded 2,0 m [78.75 in] or M12 connector
models • Synchronizing/hold input •
Adjustment by potentiometer • Micro-
processor controlled • Temperature
compensation
Benets: Easy to use. Provide
unprecedented ultrasonic power in a very
small package. Provide one switching
output (PNP or NPN open collector).
Powerful ultrasonic beam detects even
targets with bad ultrasonic characteristics
(angled, soft, absorbent, and pulverulent).
M18 or M30 package allows mounting
in narrow places. Adjustment is simply
performed by a potentiometer. The high-
sealing IP67, plastic housing, and the
epoxy head provide enhanced resistance
in aggressive environments like food and
beverage or raw materials processing
factories. Other potential applications
include bottle counting, food processing
machinery, filling machinery, crop handling
machinery, and ground flatness detection
for vehicles.

an even wider range of applications
due to its very simple programming by
auto-tuning. High power, small package,
high sealing, chemical resistance.
Potential applications include loop
control, product height measurement,
tank level measurement (liquids, crops,
etc.), reel diameter measurement, and tire
manufacturing.
946 Series.

distance than other detection methods
reducing the need for close proximity to
the target. Presence absence, tank-fill

a robust and flexible measurement
method. Potential applications include
food and beverage, rapid presence/
absence detection, bottle counting, and
loop control.
INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT
(IMU)
6 Degrees of Freedom Inertial
Measurement Unit, 6-D Motion
Variant, 6DF Series.
Features: Designed to Six Sigma
standards • Industry-leading durability
• Industry-leading accuracy • Eases
integration • 6-dimensional motion sensing
• Industry-leading voltage input exibility
(7 V to 32 V) • Industry-leading application
expertise • Industry-leading customization
• Automotive-grade qualied • Industry-
leading temperature performance • Long-
term stability • No calibration needed
Benets: Six Sigma standards provide
the highest level of product quality,
performance, and consistency. Aluminum
housing, corrosion-resistance, chemical
compatibility, IP67 and IP69k ratings,
wide operating temperature range EMI
(electromagnetic interference) and EMC
(electromagnetic compatibility) provide
industry-leading durability. Industry-
leading accuracy provides highly accurate
6-dimensional rotation and acceleration
outputs. SAEJ1939 CAN 29 bit identier
communication output, IP67 and IP69k
ratings, wide voltage range (7 V to 32 V),
Deutsch connector, chemical compatibility
eases integration. 6-dimensional motion
sensing provides key equipment
operating data, frees the operator to
focus on equipment functions, enables
precise control, increases accuracy,
safety, stability, and operator productivity.
Industry-leading voltage input exibility (7
V to 32 V) allows customers to purchase
only one catalog listing, allows the IMU
to accommodate voltage fluctuation,
and provides reverse polarity protection.
Honeywell’s application engineers are
available to provide troubleshooting
and product design assistance. For
Transportation applications with high
volumes over 500 units per year,
Honeywell will consider offering customers
a choice of any CAN protocol. Industry-
leading temperature performance
provided by a temperature sensor placed
within each rotation rate sensor within
the IMU provides a temperature value to
the processing module where the data
samples are filtered and compensated.
Long-term stability minimizes system
calibration needs, maximizes system
performance, and helps support system
uptime. Large batches of the IMU are
calibrated to a flat surface, providing
calibration consistency between units
and eliminating the customer’s need to
calibrate the IMU.
