Angle Position Sensors
AN9 Sensors
Thin, programmable, non-contact magnetic position sensors
capable of continuous rotation with dual outputs
Description
The AN9 Series sensors are non-contact, intrinsically linear angle position sensors with two independent outputs. The sensors
operate through the use of Hall Effect technology with magnetic fields generated by permanent magnets. They provide a linear
change in voltage output (ratiometric to the input voltage) corresponding to an angular rotation of the input shaft.
Features
Typical Applications
• Angular position sensor with high tolerance for misalignment
• Non-contact angular position sensing and full 360° rotation
• Dual independent (fully redundant) outputs assure high reliability
• Custom programming available for: angle range, slope, PWM
output, custom magnets – contact factory
• No mechanical interface means no parts to wear out or jam
• Comes with 18 AWG 305 mm (12”) wire leads
• RoHS Compliant
• IP67
• Maximum air gap of 5.5 mm (0.22”)*
• Implement (fork lift, agricultural trailer hitch,
etc.) position sensing
• Steer, throttle by wire
• Gear selection
• Zero-contact encoder alternative
• Replacement for smart bearings
• Outboard trim sensing
