RACO Electronic Position Sensor
and Overload Protection EPS

The RACO path-sensory system has been specially designed for exactly positioning and switching off electro-magnetic actuators in the final position. Not only is the position ascertained unconventionally by electro-magnetic means (e.g., gear-shifting mechanism) while doing so but it will also be determined via a close-coupled magnetic field without any movement.

The EPS consists of a printed circuit board and a magnetic holder with the magnet. The electronic positioning sensor (EPS) is integrated into the device’s supplementary casing (A) on the motor shaft’s end of the servo-motor or in the device’s supplementary box (D) on the coupling casing. The installation, commissioning (starting up), maintenance (servicing) and upgrading is simplified in comparison with a conventional design that has mechanical limit switches and a shift transmission which must be adjusted individually.
