AN1 Sensors
Description
One-piece, intrinsically linear contact angle position sensors. The sensors operate through the use of Hall Effect technology with magnetic fields generated by permanent magnets. They provide a linear change in voltage output (ratiometric to the input voltage) corresponding to an angular rotation of the input shaft
Features
Patented intrinsically linear angle position sensor (ILAPS)
Magnet/sensor orientation provides linear output from 5⁰ to 85⁰ of rotation without the need for electrical compensation
Return spring provides resistance to CCW motion
Fully encapsulated electronics
RoHS compliant
IP67
Typical Applications
Implement (fork lift, agricultural trailer hitch, etc.) position sensing
Steer, throttle by wire
Gear selection
Zero-contact encoder alternative
