MB1 Series sensors are EGMR (enhanced giant magnetic resistance) devices that count turns even when power is removed and retain the turn count and angle information for years without power. So there is no need for batteries. Operating speed is over 500 RPM.
Southborough, MA - Novotechnik U.S. introduces the MB1 Series of absolute multi-turn angle sensors. The sensors are non-contact sensors with galvanized steel housing and stainless steel shaft with up to 100 N working shaft load for HD version. They are sealed up to IP 69K—depending on version. The Series offers solid and hollow shaft versions.
