Rotary position sensor AW-360

conductive plastic potentiometermetalIP65

Absolute high-precision rotary sensor in robust design, with gap-free output voltage across full 360 ° High-precision rotary sensor in robust design, with gap-free output voltage across full 360 ° gap-free output over all360° • very high absolute linearity • interchangeable withoutelectrical adjustment • guaranteed 12 bit resolutionand repeatability • long life - 50 x 106 movements • protection class IP 65 This potentiometer has beendesigned for use as an absolute 360° angle encoder.Apart from direct analogueuse, it can be used in con-junction with an external A/Dconverter. In this case, theunit operates as an angletransducer with 12 bit resolution and offering 10 or 11 bitabsolute accuracy. The transducer only requires 6 connections, and these are made via a 6 pole, waterproof plug andsocket. Contrary to the limitations encountered with otherpotentiometers, which have adead band of some degreeswhich cannot be used, due toits two wipers and its hybridcircuit the AW 360 ZE can beused over all 360° of rotation.The reset voltages at the beginning and end of the sawtooth are well defined, andthere is no function angle tolerance as is normally associated with potentiometers.These features together withthe fact that the maximum output voltage is determinedby the applied voltage meansthat units may be inter-changed or replaced without theneed to electrical adjust ortrim. When turning the axle incw (view on shaft end) thesignal increases. Other outputsignals on request.
