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 contact 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 (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”)*
