Mencom Introduces Magnetic Sensors for Industrial Applications

Mencom Expands Industrial Connector Solutions with New Line of Magnetic Sensors for Automation, Manufacturing, and Process Control Applications

Mencom, a leading provider of industrial connector solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of a new line of magnetic sensors to its product offering. Designed to meet the diverse needs of modern industrial environments such as automation, manufacturing and process control, automotive, medical, and aerospace, these sensors provide reliable and versatile solutions for a variety of applications.


Mencom's new magnetic sensors, available in reed and GMR types, are designed for easy installation using either a clamp or screw system. They operate within a voltage range of 10 to 100V and 5 to 30V respectively and perform optimally in temperatures from -25°C to +90°C. The reed sensors have a maximum load capacity of 10 W DC and a switching current of up to 400 mA at 25°C, while the GMR sensors can switch up to 150 mA and detect field strengths of 2.8 mT. Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, both types of sensors feature an IP67 protection rating, making them resistant to dust and water. They also feature a yellow LED operating indicator for easy status monitoring.

With low power consumption in a compact design and high-performance capabilities like sensitivity and durability, the use of Magnetic sensors will provide improved system efficiency and cut down maintenance costs effectively.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
