Non-contacting rotary position sensors

Non-contacting rotary position sensors are extremely low wearing with two-part sensors offering virtually infinite life. They have measurement ranges from 30° up to a full 360° rotation with absolute multi-turn also available on some models. 

The majority of our non-contacting sensors use the Hall effect principle, which utilises magnetic fields to measure the rotary position of a moving object. They are well suited to a wide range of applications. 

The main advantages of using this type of sensor are:

• High reliability 
• They can be programmed to suit specific applications
• They offer high speed operation
• They operate in a relatively wide temperature range making them suitable for different environments
• Low maintenance and long life 
• Many have a higher IP rating of IP68 or IP69K

As Hall effect sensors can be affected by external magnetic fields it is important to take the environment into consideration when selecting which sensor to use.

We supply non-contacting rotary position sensors into applications including:

• Handling equipment
• Mobile vehicle applications
• Automation equipment
• Marine applications 
• Agricultural machinery - steering systems
• Process and packing machines
• Slitting and rewinding machines 

We also see a lot of applications within the motorsport industry and are frequently approached for our expertise in: 

• Throttle measurement 
• Sequential gearboxes 
• Steering

All of our non-contacting rotary position sensors can be seen above.

Our own range includes:

Euro XP

Euro XPK

Euro XPD

And the micro versions within this range are:

CMRK

CMRT

CMRS

Our micro range is as small as 10mm in diameter, making it well suited to applications where there are space restrictions.
