Non-Contacting Rotary Sensor

Based on magnetic field technology, Novotechnik RFC sensors have no moving or mechanical parts attached to wear or break. A magnetic assembly affixed to the shaft is physically separated from a sensor with an embedded integrated circuit that provides analog output representing the calculated angle range - from 30° to 360° in 10° steps.

Since the two components are completely separate and there are no moving or mechanical parts to wear or break, the RFC Series sensors have virtually unlimited operating life.

The sensor is sealed to protection class IP 69 so it is not sensitive to dirt or dampness. Electrical connections are made via a shielded cable with 3 lead wires. A redundant output is available with six leads.

The RFC Series provides 12-bit resolution, independent linearity to 0.5% of measurement range and repeatability of <0.03%. The rotary sensor is available with two voltage output options.

Applications include industrial valves, automotive suspension systems, and more in the automotive and marine industries.
