The Vert-X 05E series of magnetic rotary position sensors with compact, flat housing are available with analog, SPI and incremental interfaces and in single and redundant versions. The touchless magnetic angle sensors have a permanent magnet that can be secured to an application’s rotating shaft, so there is no direct mechanical linkage between the shaft and the measuring system and therefore no wear. Specifications include a 5-mm profile, 0 to 360° measurement range, repeatability of 0.1° or better and maximum hysteresis of 0.1°. The sample rate is up to 5 kHz, and its active measurement region extends to within 6 mm from the edge of the housing.
