The R1380 series contactless rotary position sensors perform angular displacement measurements on rotating elements such as valves, dampers, and sorters. The sensors are available in a variety of electrical configurations, including analog voltage and 4- to 20-mA output versions. The units can be adapted to suit a number of process control and industrial applications. Able to rotate a full 360°, the R1380 sensors measure angular position up to 100°. Units are rated for a ±50° or 0° to 100° measurement range with linearity to ±0.25%. They operate at temperatures from −20°C to 85°C. Standard units require a ±15-V dc supply and yield a ±10-V dc output. Other electrical configurations include a regulated 5-V dc input with 0.5- to 4.5-V dc output for mobile applications. Pricing for the R1380 sensors starts at $495.
