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).
