Extremely compact angle sensor for tight spaces

New from ASM is the PRDS1, an extremely compact magnetic angle sensor in M12 housing. The angle is measured without contact and so is wear-free over the entire measuring range.

Extremely compact angle sensor for tight spaces

>Only 12mm in diameter and 50mm depth, the PRDS1 is suited to particularly compact applications where access is difficult. The complete measurement range of 0° to 360° is totally non contact utilising an independent magnet with an air gap between the sensor. This overcomes any connection or alignment problems often experienced if sensors have output shafts.
