  • Three different motor packages available.
  • Control system available as either table top or board level.
  • Communication via serial RS-232 or USB.
  • Includes LabView “VI” and Windows user interface.

Hall Effect Sensors


Introducing Navitar’s new line of standard equipment featuring motorized zoom lenses with advanced computer control. These new motorized zoom lenses are designed to offer systems integrators and end users a complete optical solution. Navitar’s new motorization design integrates magnetic Hall Effect sensors to reference position location. The Hall Effect sensing mechanism utilizes a magnetic field to trigger a pulse in a semiconductor circuit. This principle is now used in almost all ignition systems currently being produced. Compared to older photo-electric sensors, the Hall Effect sensors are insensitive to contamination, room light and variation in system voltages. User can choose to motorize the zoom axis, focus axis, or both. Three different motor types are available:

2 Phase Stepping Motor (Faulhaber) Available August 1, 2003
Two phase current mode steppers.

5 Phase Stepping Motor (Oriental, Vexta) September 2003 Delivery
Small footprint motor with high torque.

DC Servo with Encoder (Faulhaber) November 2003 Delivery
Brush type coreless DC micro motors with integrated magnetic encoders. Specific motor information is available on request.
