New Compact 360° Non-Contacting Rotary Sensors with 12-bit Resolution



Southborough, MA...Novotechnik U.S. has introduced a new family of non-contacting angle sensors that provide 360° absolute angle measurement and selectable analog or digital outputs. The VX family's analog acquisition capability is particularly beneficial-in the event of a power spike or failure, the VX will hold the current angle measurement.

Designed to withstand high EMC levels and sealed to IP67 for operation in demanding environments, VX series specifications include resolution to ±0.09° and accuracy of ±0.35°. The VX provides a service lifetime of >100 million operations. With a compact size of less than 0.88" diameter x 1.2" depth, it may be the smallest non-contacting rotary sensor on the market.

A microprocessor is incorporated into the VX to provide programmable digital, analog or pulse-width modulated output formats, self-diagnostics and instantaneous initialization of measurement direction-clockwise or counter-clockwise.
