The MB1-3600 Series consists of non-contacting magnetic multi-turn rotary sensors designed for industrial applications requiring accurate position and turn counting over 44 revolutions (15,840°) with 16-bit resolution per revolution. The sensors feature True-Power-On technology that retains turn count without power, using GMR sensing and eliminating the need for gears or batteries. Available with solid or hollow shafts, the devices are housed in a compact 36 mm diameter full metal case with IP67 and IP69K protection. They include ball bearings, support up to 100 N axial/radial shaft load depending on variant, and use an M12x1 A-coded connector. Torque is approximately 0.3 Ncm for solid shaft models and 0.5 Ncm for hollow shaft models. The sensors are suited for demanding environments including mobile machinery and driveline systems.
The MB1-3600 Series of heavy duty multi-turn magnetic sensors are designed to be a high tech and economical alternative to geared and optical encoders. These sensors count up to 44 turns while monitoring angle 0 to 15,840°. They will continue to count turns and angle even if power is removed, retain the value for years, and report the correct value when power is restored.
MB1-3600 Benefits
This multi-turn sensor provides engineers with the following unique benefits.
