Digital position sensor offers precise rotational and incremental measurement of magnetic field fluctuations

摘要

Measurement Specialties has released the KMA36, a digital position sensor for precise rotational and incremental measurement of magnetic field fluctuations. Using aniso-tropic magneto resistive (AMR) technology, the contactless sensor measures angles of an exterior magnet over a 360° rotation as well as incremental positions along a linear magnetic pole strip with a 5-mm pole length. Housed in a standard TSSOP package and able to withstand harsh environmental elements, the low-power KMA36 is suitable for use in industrial, engine, robotics and motor machine applications.
