Touchless Rotary Sensors with CANopen Interface
The sensors are touchless magnetic angle sensors with a permanent magnet that can be secured to a rotating shaft, so that there is no direct mechanical linkage between the shaft and the measuring system, and therefore no wear.
Southborough, MA - Novotechnik U.S. introduces the Vert-X 32E Series of programmable rotary angle sensors. The sensors are touchless magnetic angle sensors with a permanent magnet that can be secured to a rotating shaft, so that there is no direct mechanical linkage between the shaft and the measuring system, and therefore no wear. Output provided is CANopen Interface. Vert-X 32E Series is CiA certified serial communications output and supports real-time control.
The Vert-X 32E Series can be programmed through a programming device connected between the sensor and a computers USB port and software called EasyAdapt which runs on Windows PCs. Users can select from six default set-ups or use one as a starting point and customize it. Output characteristics including custom characteristic curve, angle range, zero point, and curve- as well as gradient-direction versus direction of rotation can be programmed.
Single and redundant Vert-X 32E versions are available and key specifications include 38 mm width centered on mounting holes, 0 to 360° measurement range, resolution to 16-bit, repeatability of 0.1° or better, and maximum hysteresis of 0.1°.
The Series also features a wide 8 to 35 V supply range. Vert-X 32E Series sensors have a MTBF of 135 years. All models feature an ingress protection rating of IP 68 and operating range of -40 to +85°C.
Programmability of Vert-X 32E Series makes it possible for some applications to reduce hardware design complexity, lower costs through stocking one part for multiple products and eliminating the need for certain other parts in some applications. These could include a microprocessor, A/D converter, memory and related decoupling capacitors.
Vert-X 32E can be ordered with custom factory programmed characteristics defined by users as well. For more information contact Novotechnik U.S., Phone: 508-485-2244 •

Featured Product
Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
