Super-flat rotary sensor
13 January 2014
Available though exclusive UK distributor, Variohm EuroSensor, Novotechnik has launched the RFD series super-flat non-contacting Hall Effect rotary sensor.
These non-contacting Hall Effect-based components are mechanically and electrically compatible with their predecessor, the RFA, yet more economically priced – without technological sacrifice.
Highly reliable and powerful, the sensors are suitable for measurement angles of up to 360˚. They offer a 12-bit resolution and an independent linearity of +/-0.5%, and they are available in single, partially, or completely redundant designs.
The extremely flat sensor housing measures only 7mm in height. It is made of a sturdy thermoplastic material, and its two injection moulded screw mounts are reinforced with brass bushings (distances between bores: 31mm).
