Product Details Supplier Info More products

Variohm Eurosensor has introduced Novotechnik’s RFD series of sensors. The sensors are non-contacting Hall-effect-based components that are mechanically and electrically compatible with their predecessor, the RFA, yet more economically priced.

According to the company, Hall effect-based sensors yield absolute measurements, which are reliable even under tough environmental conditions. They are relatively low cost in comparison with other measurement technologies, which makes them suitable for countless applications in machine engineering and plant design as well as for mobile applications.

The reliable and powerful RFD sensors are suitable for measurement angles of up to 360°. They offer a 12-bit resolution and an independent linearity of ±0.5 per cent, and are available in single, partially, or completely redundant designs.

The sensors are suitable for use in the fields of industrial and automotive technology.

Key features and benefits

  • Extremely flat sensor housing measures only 7mm in height
  • Made of a sturdy thermoplastic material
  • Two injection-moulded screw mounts are reinforced with brass bushings (distances between bores: 31mm)
  • The included matching position transducer has a diameter of 22.2mm and a height of 5.6mm
  • Lateral installation offsets of ±1.5mm will not compromise measurement integrity
  • The sensor side is clearly labelled, thus simplifying installation
