Non-contacting rotary encoder

The Vert-X 05E sensor element is just 5mm thick, allowing measurement very close to walls and other boundaries. The sensor has 12-bit resolution in a choice of single or redundant output for 0.5V…4.5V or 10…90% of programmed input voltage (5V DC).

The sensor's repeatability is within 0.1⁰ and versions are available for 0 to 360⁰ or factory programmed in 10˚ increments with special range options available on request. The intendant linearity is dependent upon the radial alignment with a typical value from +/-0.3%.

With complete mechanical separation between the Vert-X 05E´s sensor element and the magnetic actuator the new sensor offers an effective limitless life. The sensor and magnet housings are encapsulated in high-grade temperature resistant epoxy resin which is impervious to ingress with the opportunity that the angle measurement can be made through non-magnetic liquid or solid materials.

The direction sense is simply reversed by flipping the sensor element which is secured by two small screws. The sensor´s environmental specification extends to high level resistance to shock and vibration as well as similarly excellent electrical characteristics for emissions.
