This non-contact position sensor uses an external position magnet to provide an absolute output signal over a 0° to 360° measurement range.

The sensor uses an external magnet to operate constantly without needing to be replaced frequently. It can measure up to 360° but can be customized for smaller ranges as well. The device has an output analog voltage signal from 0.5 to 4.5V. The device is encased in a tough IP60-certified encasing while its height is less than 6.35mm. The device is shock and vibration resistant, and it has a resolution of 0.03 % and 0.1 % full scale. The device features a repeatability of ±0.03 % (60 to 360°); ±0.1 % (15 to 45°) and linearity of ±0.5% full scale. The device can be easily fitted with the help of M3 screws.
