Non-Contacting Single-turn
A rotary position sensor translates angular positions to an electrical signal. Rotary position sensors are designed for applications that typically require frequent adjustment. Shaftless designs allow for a different engagement mechanisms, such as a customized shaft, a motor control, a human interface adjustment or a mechanical arm position locator. Rotary position sensors can be used in applications where a user needs to control a variable output such as a frequency, speed or volume control. Typical applications include test and measurement equipment, consumer electronics, small engines, robotics, and medical equipment. The Bourns® Model AMS22S Series uses Hall Effect magnetic technology to sense rotary position.
