AN8 Sensors
Description
Non-contact, 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
Angular position sensor with high tolerance for misalignment
Non-contact angular position sensing and full 360⁰ rotation
Custom programming available for: angle range, slope, PWM output, custom magnets – contact factory
No mechanical interface means no parts to wear out or jam
Available with Delphi connector or 12” (305 mm) wire leads
