New 5 mm Flat Angle and Speed Sensors

Southborough, MA - Novotechnik U.S.introduces the Vert-X 05E Series of dual angle/speed sensors. The series features easy mounting in small and narrow spaces with a 5 mm body depth and mounting flanges with metal inserts.

The sensors also feature measurement only 6 mm from edge of product for close-to-wall measurement applications. Vert-X 05E Series sensors measure angles from 0 to 360°, rotational speed and direction.

Other key specifications include independent linearity to ±0.3% of measurement range, resolution to 12-bits (analog output) and 1,024 pulses per revolution (incremental outputs), repeatability to 0.1°. Measurement speeds are up to 120,000 RPM. Vert-X 05E life is specified as unlimited mechanical movements and 390 years MTBF.

Vert-X 05E output choices include 0.5 to 4.5 V analog as well as incremental including: TTL, differential RS-422, push-pull/HTL and open collector.
Operating temperature range is -40 to +125°C and Vert-X 05E is rated at IP68 for ingress protection. Applications include speed regulation of an electric motor, electric vehicle drive, crane, escalator, flowmeter, pump, fork lift, construction, and agricultural machines.
