Manufacturer: Novotechnik
Category: Displacement, Angular displacement sensor, SENSORS

Novotechnik AW-360 potentiometric angle sensor. Conductive plastic potentiometer with two cursors and integrated hybrid circuit: DC voltage output throughout the 360° rotation.

Conductive plastic potentiometer with two cursors and integrated hybrid circuit for absolute angle measurement. 360° electrical travel with no dead zone. Analog voltage output 0…URef; absolute linearity ±0.07% (AW 360 ZE-10). With external A/D converter: 12-bit resolution and 10 or 11-bit absolute precision. IP65 protection with EEM 33-78 connector.

Key points

Continuous 360° output, with no dead zone
Absolute linearity ±0.07% (AW 360 ZE-10)
Without electrical adjustment: the maximum output voltage is determined by the applied voltage
Reset voltages defined at the beginning and end of the sawtooth, with no functional angle tolerance
6 connections, 6-pin connector
