Angle Sensors
Function of angle sensors
Sensors are devices that convert certain physical variables into electrical signals and can sometimes display them with the help of an evaluation unit or a controller. Angle sensors in particular record movements on rotating objects and measure their angle of rotation, for example. Hence the term «angle sensor». In order to describe the (rotational) speed of a rotating object, the change in angle over time must be converted accordingly. Depending on whether you prefer to work with optical or mechanical sensors, you can choose the appropriate model.
Angle sensors from MICRONOR
We at MICRONOR currently have three different types of angle sensors in our range. We offer several models of each of these sensor types. You will surely find the right angle sensors for your needs! We would be happy to advise you on this selection.
With the absolute rotary encoders as angle sensors, the position of a shaft can be precisely determined. Unlike incremental rotary encoders , the measured value is available here as soon as you switch on the device. The sensor therefore does not need a reference value. With MICRONOR you can choose between two series of absolute rotary encoders. Both series contain a purely passive, optical sensor and a controller. The MR-330 series is particularly suitable for longer distances between encoder and controller. The MR-430 series, on the other hand, can also be used in systems that offer little space.
Another variant are the incremental rotary encoders already mentioned. You can use this to capture the motion and speed of a motor shaft or linear actuator. The fiber-optic measurement method makes it possible to generate particularly precise measurement results. This is also the case when using an electronic measuring device, e.g. B. is not possible due to electromagnetic fields. Incremental rotary encoders from MICRONOR are based on an optical, purely passive sensor design. The sensor is connected to the controller via a fiber optic cable, with the sensor head being free of electronics, which provides precise measurement results even in high-voltage environments, for example.
In addition to rotary encoders, we at MICRONOR also offer resolvers as angle sensors. Resolvers provide a link between the analog machines and the digital controls. At MICRONOR, resolvers complement the range of rotary encoders to the optical rotary encoders. The angle sensors have a purely mechanical rotor that does not require a coil. This means that they can also be used in liquids without additional protection. In addition, these angle sensors can also be used reliably at particularly low or high temperatures or speeds and always deliver exact measurement results.
