Novotechnik - Robust, Accurate Angle Sensors

Measurement range is 0 to 360°. Other key specifications include sealing to IP 69K, up to 16-bit resolution and ±0.2% linearity—depending on version. Repeatability is 0.1°. Both single and fully redundant versions of the Vert-X 26 Series are available. Output interfaces include 4 to 20 mA, 0.5 to 4.5 V DC, CANopen and CAN J1939.

Southborough, MA — Novotechnik U.S. announces the Vert-X 26 Series of non-contacting magnetic angle sensors. These sensors use a Hall effect to track the position of the shaft and are designed for rugged applications where high humidity, dampness, dust and/or vibrations are expected. They are plug-in sensors using an AMP MQ5 6-pole connector.
