Magnetic rotary angle and position sensor-control.
Contactless sensor.
MTS-360
Key features
• Simple & Robust magnetic design.
• Endless rotation.
• Programmable switch output.
• Programmable Linear Transfer
Characteristic:
(some positive slopes & one negative
slope can be programmed in the
same transfer characteristic;
up to 4 programmable points; see
last page)
The MTS-360 provides a true breakthrough in contactless sensor technology by combining a through-shaft design with 360º absolute
position feedback in an ultra miniature size. The result is the smallest fully featured rotary sensor on the market with reliability up
to 50 million cycles.
• Self-diagnostic features
• Over voltage protection and
reverse voltage protection.
With its tiny size of only 6mm x 17mm x 18mm (HxWxL), engineers can now integrate a fully featured rotary sensor directly on their
PCB without the packaging issues that typically accompany encoders or other absolute position devices. The exceptionally low profile
fits easily in places that were previously too small for pre-packaged rotary sensors.
Also upon request:
This ultra-miniature MTS-360 Rotary Position Sensor is ideal in optical imaging stabilization and precision biomedical devices, optical
zoom devices, consumer electronics, instrumentation, HVAC systems, automotive
