MP23 Magnetic Potentiometer

MP23, Magnetic Potentiometer, 22mm

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

Features MP23, Magnetic Potentiometer, 22mm

The sensor provides an analogue 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 scanning principle of the sensor is based on a magnetic scanning principle. The potentiometer consists of two separate parts. The scanning unit and the magnet itself. The scanning is contact-free without 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 determined when ordering. The sensor has a diameter of only 22 millimeters, which makes it useful for use in space-constrained applications.

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