The 28mm Euro XP family, also available with Form ‘U’, spring coupling or separate ‘Puck+Magnet’ versions features the motorsports industry preferred 5Vdc ratiometric output and includes a redundant dual-track 360° measuring range for safety-critical use. The position output covers 5 to 95% of the 5Vdc supply voltage and being absolute, does not lose position after power loss. The precision of the Euro XP family combines an independent linearity of ±0.5% of each signal range with repeatability to better than 0.2%.
The D-shaft sensor joins the Euro XP family with completely contactless technology and a mechanical bearing-free design with a life specification said to be in excess of 50million movements. The fully encapsulated sensor element ensures complete environmental protection – rated to IP68, in addition to IEC 60068-2-6 protection against shock and vibration – suiting it to challenging race track conditions. The sensor is moulded in highly resilient glass-filled PBT plastic with threaded inserts and a reinforced mounting-flange with stainless steel kidney washers that add further durability.
