Angle Position Sensors
AN8 Sensors
Programmable, non-contact magnetic position
sensors capable of continuous rotation
Description
The AN8 Series sensors are non-contact, intrinsically linear angle position sensors. 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
• Custom programming available for: angle range, slope, PWM
output, custom magnets – contact factory
• No mechanical interface means no parts to wear out or jam
• Available with Delphi connector or 12” (305 mm) 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

These charts show the output voltage as a percentage of
the input voltage for a given angle of rotation.
Example: 180⁰ sensing range, magnet rotated 135⁰, output
voltage will be 70% of input voltage (see dashed lines in
graph above).
