With all electrical angles available up to 360° with no dead band, the device features accurate linearity down to ±0.5 %. The sensor offers a long life greater than 10 million cycles for the D-shaft version, and greater than 5 million cycles for the hollow-shaft version. The 981 HE component provides continuous performance for the life of the device with no drift of linearity. Spring-loaded versions of the device are also available.
The sensor offers a supply voltage of 5 V ±10 %, with other values available upon request. The device features a typical supply current of 10 mA, and 16 mA for PWM output. The 981 HE offers +20 V over voltage protection and −10 V reverse voltage protection. The recommended load resistance is 1 kΩ for analog output and PWM output. Redundant output signals are available upon request.
The sensor is optimized for foot pedal position sensors, throttle position sensors, steering position sensors, drive-by-wire, lift and shuttle position sensors, tilt control and tilt positioning feedback, and suspension system position sensors in marine, avionics, fork lift trucks, farm equipment, cranes, and automotive applications.
