NYE adds new Vishay miniature position sensor to lineup

In addition to the above, the sensor's plug-and-play operation eliminates the need for calibration. Plus, the Vishay MCB RAME012 rotational absolute magnetic encoder uses advanced contactless technology to achieve greater than 11-bit accuracy and 14-bit resolution, while maintaining robustness against external magnetic fields, airborne pollution, vibration, mechanical shock and changes in temperature. The device features a useful electrical angle of 360° and works over a temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.

The stainless steel body design of the RAME012 – as well as its on-axis design, slim diameter and light weight (< 11g) – make it ideal for applications where little space is available, but an angular position needs to be detected with high accuracy. The device is available in a single-turn variant featuring an SSI (serial synchronous input) output signal, with other mechanical and electrical interfaces also available on request.

With its SSI output and excellent performance/size ratio, the position sensor offers a perfect replacement for potentiometers in missile guidance systems, gimbals for optical balls and missile seekers, positioning systems for small industrial actuators (servo drives), and the multi-dimensional mechanical measurement of surfaces using 3D probes.
