Variohm launches Vert-X exMag IP69K rotary sensors
The new Vert X family of sensors from Variohm EuroSensor comes in various housing diameters from 13mm to 37mm and offers a number of analogue or digital outputs - plus they are sealed to IP69K (operational).
Variohm explains that the Vert-X exMag non-contacting sensors feature a permanent magnet that is attached to the rotating object by the customer. The need for mechanical coupling between the axis and the measurement system has been eliminated, so no wear occurs.
The angle sensors are designed for use where the true running of the rotating object is outside a specific tolerance range, or when physical contact between the rotary sensor and the object is not possible. They are available in body sizes between 13 to 37 mm, offer 14bit resolution, and have a temperature range of -40 to +125degC.
The Vert X range includes fully moulded versions sealed to IP69K specifications. All models feature the capability for free programming of the rotary angle from 0 to 360degrees, with the full range of resolution and precision available, even for less than 360degrees.
