Angle Measurement In Confined Spaces

Addressing these issues, the recently launched Contelec Vert-X 05E angle sensor, available exclusively from Variohm EuroSensor in the UK, offers value for money and, with its ultra-compact size and physical architecture, can be used in the most confined spaces. Potted with a high- grade, temperature-resistant epoxy resin, it is impervious to contamination. With IP68 protection rate and an operating temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C, it stands up to the harshest environments.

In non-contacting magnetic rotary encoders, the sensor unit and magnetic actuator are physically separated. This brings a high level of shock and vibration resistance, and enables accurate measurements to be made – even with considerable axial and radial offsets of the magnetic actuator.
