Magnetic encoder
This magnetic sensor is designed specifically for non-contact encoder applications. Transmitting the angular information tracked off a multi-pole ring magnet, it generates digital, squarewave, offset signals that can be fed into an electronic circuit to determine the direction, angle, and speed of rotation. Because it contains no moving parts, it reportedly is not subject to wear. Replacing the pole wheel with a magnetic ribbon will allow the unit to be used as a measuring system.

Timers
The PM5S timer series offers up to 6 modes of operation and 16 time ranges from 1 sec to 500 hours for application flexibility. Their narrow 22.5-mm body permits high density, side-by-side mounting in a minimal amount of space. Built-in DIN rail mounting clips and screw terminals are included to allow quick installation and eliminate the need for extra-cost relay sockets. All models operate from 24 to 240V (ac or dc) between -10 and 50C.
