PWA contactless angle sensors

PEWATRON AG: The new line of PWA contactless angle sensors with electrical angle up to 360° and 12 bit resolution has been designed as a sturdy solution for industrial as well as in mobile applications.

The line currently consists of 3 series, all of which feature a ratiometric 5V output:

• PWA1 series: with integrated magnet and return spring
• PWA8 series: with separate magnet (at request with magnet support)
• PWA9 series: as PWA8, however with 2 independent redundant outputs for fault detection in the measurement system. Optionally available with PWM output.

The series PWA8 and PWA9 are characterised by a high insensitivity to mechanical tolerances (magnet offset) and an air gap of up to 5.5 mm. Owing to the secure attachment by means of metal lugs, a high temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (optionally +125°C) and protection class IP67/IP68, the PWA line is ideally suited for the application in rough environments.

The output characteristics are pre-programmed, can, however, also be customised optionally. This enables the individual fi ne adjustment of each sensor to the respective environment, for example to compensate mechanical tolerances. The electrical connection is possible via strands or IP67 rated connectors.
