TT Electronics has recently made the market introduction of its MagnePot® 8150 Series family of high-performance multi-turn non-contacting rotary position sensors. The 8150 Series is designed to operate reliably over a minimum of 10 million shaft rotations with no signal output degradation.
The 8150 Series combines the latest in Hall Effect non-contacting sensing technology and high-performance internal bearing design, resulting in a rotary position sensor with exceptional performance reliability. The non-contacting sensing technology also facilitates clean, ratiometric absolute position outputs across multiple turns without sliding contact noise.
Units are available in a choice of three, five or ten turns, each powered via a 5Vdc supply voltage. The ratiometric output range is from 4% to 96% of supply with a 12mA maximum current rating. MagnePot® 8150 Series models also feature ±0.50% independent linearity as standard, with optional improvement to ±0.25%.
Additional 8150 Series device options include alternative output voltages, servo mounts, non-linear outputs, IP50 or IP66 ingress protection, and severe environment versions. Typical applications for the MagnePot® 8150 Series include industrial joystick controls; factory and laboratory automation; advanced manufacturing; robotic positioning; motion control feedback; medical diagnostic equipment positioning; aircraft flight and panel controls; and vision system positioning feedback.
