Angular sensor has analogue output

Fourth Quarter 2007 Other technologies

ASM has introduced the latest addition to the POSIROT family, PRAS3, a new magnetic angular position sensor in a compact 36 mm diameter housing. The active sensor element uses an internal, contact-free permanent magnet to determine the angular position. The measurement ranges are available in 15° increments: 0-15°, 0-30°, 0-45° up to 0-360°. The servo flange mounting ensures quick and easy installation for the sensor.

With its stainless steel housing that is rated up to IP69K, the angular sensor is well suited for the harsh conditions such as those found on off-highway construction equipment and many industrial applications. The sensor is equipped with two extra strong ball bearings to handle axial and radial loads along the sensor's 10 mm shaft.

A variety of mounting options are available.

Three different analogue outputs are available: 0,5-4,5 V, 0,5-10 V and 4-20 mA. The resolution and repeatability are defined as up to ±0,03% over the full scale. The linearity is defined as ±0,3% over the full scale. All of the PRAS3 models are available with the output signal increasing either clockwise or counter-clockwise and with a housing that is rated either IP67 or IP69K.
