Omron H8PS-16BP 16-Point Cam Positioner

The Omron H8PS-16BP (H8PS-16BP) is a compact electronic cam positioner designed to replace mechanical cam switches in automated machinery and motion control systems. Operating on a 24 VDC power supply, this programmable cam positioner provides 16 PNP transistor outputs for precise timing and sequencing control based on angular position feedback. It is engineered for surface and DIN track mounting, featuring an intuitive front-panel liquid crystal display with dedicated programming keys that simplify angle settings, speed display, and timing adjustments. The unit connects to Omron absolute rotary encoders to deliver reliable position detection at rotation speeds up to 1,600 r/min. Common industrial applications include packaging equipment, assembly machinery, converting lines, metal stamping presses, and rotary index tables where synchronized, high-speed multi-point switching is required. With its durable industrial housing, the H8PS-16BP protects internal electronics against electrical noise and industrial interference while maintaining high operational repeatability. It serves as a direct replacement component for servicing existing automation systems, minimizing downtime and eliminating mechanical wear associated with conventional cam switches.
