Milli-Ampere Movement

Beacon Industrial Electronics has announced a motorised milli-ampere movement that dispenses with all delicate parts like hair springs, jewel bearings, pivots, etc. The movement can stand shocks and vibrations nearly 100 times more than the conventional movement. Basic movement is 0-1 mA range with internal resistance of 100 ohm and pointer swing of 270° circular scale. It is a general-purpose movement that can be used for all types of applications like ammeter, voltmeter, frequency meters, RPM meters, pressure gauges and temperature indications, etc. It does not need delicate lightweight pointer. Further the pointer is not required to balance – it can be adopted for analogue indicators of any size ranging from 96 mm square to as much as 400 mm dia (15 inch) round indicator. The driving motor is a miniature stepper motor. The equipment requires 110/230 V AC supply or 12 V DC supply. With this new development, the company can supply analogue speed indicators for applications in vehicles, ships, aircrafts, etc., where the instruments are subjected to severe vibrations and shocks.
