Angle Position Sensors
AN8 Sensors
Programmable, non-contact magnetic position sensors capable of continuous rotation
Description
The AN8 Series sensors are 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 360° 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
RoHS compliant
IP67 Maximum air gap of 5.5 mm (0.22”)\*
