MP23 Magnetic potentiometer

MP23, Magnetic Potentiometer, 22 mm

MP23 is a robust contactless rotary potentiometer. The device can be used for absolute positioning applications in harsh environments.

Characteristics MP23, Magnetic Potentiometer, 22 mm

The sensor provides an analog, radiometric voltage output with an amplitude of 0..5 Vdc or 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc proportional to the angular position of the shaft. The sensing principle of the sensor is based on a magnetic sensing principle. The potentiometer consists of two separate parts: the sensing unit and the magnet itself. The sensing is contactless and has no wearing parts. The service life of the sensor is therefore significantly longer compared to conventional potentiometers.

The potentiometer is powered by a 5Vdc supply and is available with an axial cable output. The length of the cable can be specified when ordering. The sensor has a diameter of only 22 millimeters, which makes it useful for use in space-critical applications.

The active angle of the sensor, ie the range in which the full scale value (0..5Vdc) is displayed, can be configured when ordering. This means that the full scale value can be provided between 20º and 360º depending on the requirements of the application.
