Angle Sensor Meets Automotive Industry EMC Requirements

Lake Bluff IL - The Model 424 Z non-contact axial angle sensor is capable of measuring angle areas of 20° (± 10°) to 120° (± 60°) using the integrated Hall element. The ratiometric output signal amounts to 0.5 4.5 V with a supply voltage of 5 V (5 V DC, 10 mA), a ± 60° angular range, and an absolute resolution of 0.1°.

The short-circuit-proof system meets the EMC requirements of the automotive industry (DIN 40 839 test pulse 3a/b; field interference 200 V/m; burst 2 kV). The high safety classification of the IP 67 protection class also guarantees reliable function when used in a vehicle.

A redundant version is also available for the machine safety sector.

This sensor is an especially cost effective alternative due to the use of a plastic bearing that is able to execute its own rotational movements very well but is not designed to absorb large external forces. This angle sensor is thus suitable for axially coupling with applications where the centre shaft is already supported and that do not have to actuate the angle sensor with a lever. This sensor is a technically practical and cost saving solution for such an axial coupling.
