Angle Position Sensors
AN8 Sensors
Programmable, non-contact magnetic position
sensors capable of continuous rotation
Description
The AN8 Series sensors are non-contact, intrinsically linear angle position sensors. The sensors operate through the use of Hall
Effect technology with magnetic fields generated by permanent magnets. They provide a linear change in voltage output
(ratiometric to the input voltage) corresponding to an angular rotation of the input shaft.
Features Typical Applications
Angular position sensor with high tolerance for misalignment Implement (fork lift, agricultural trailer hitch,
Non-contact angular position sensing and full 360 rotation etc.) position sensing
Custom programming available for: angle range, slope, PWM Steer, throttle by wire
output, custom magnets contact factory Gear selection
No mechanical interface means no parts to wear out or jam Zero-contact encoder alternative

Sensor Output
These charts show the output voltage as a percentage of
the input voltage for a given angle of rotation.
Example: 180 sensing range, magnet rotated 135, output
voltage will be 70% of input voltage (see dashed lines in
graph above).
