Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What can be connected to the RSB-3600 analog magnetic angle sensor?
It can be connected to Novotechnik M12 connectors and cables and Novotechnik rotary sensor couplings and accessories.
How do I order the RSB-3600 analog magnetic angle sensor?
The order code has 7 fields: mechanical version, channels, range, Ub, signal, feature, and connection. For example, RSB-3601-636-211-FM4 is the synchronous flange version with a 6 mm x 12.5 mm shaft, one channel, 0° to 360° rotation, Ub = 5 V, ratiometric output of 0.25 … 4.75 V increasing clockwise, and a 4-pin M12x1 connector. All the options for each field are available in the order code configurator on this page.
Under what conditions does the RSB-3600 analog magnetic angle sensor operate?
Operating temperature: -30 … +85 °C (connector), -40 … +85 °C (cable); higher temperatures available upon request.
