Product Specification

AN8 Sensors
Programmable, non-contact magnetic position sensors capable of continuous rotation

AN8 Series Angle Position Sensors Description
The AN8 Series sensors are non-contact, intrinsically linear angle position sensors. The sensors operate through the use of Hall Effect technology with magnetic fields generated by permanent magnets. They provide a linear change in voltage output (ratiometric to the input voltage) corresponding to an angular rotation of the input shaft.

AN8 Series Angle Position Sensors Features
• Angular position sensor with high tolerance for misalignment
• Non-contact angular position sensing and full 360° rotation
• Custom programming available for: angle range, slope, PWM output, custom magnets – contact factory
• No mechanical interface means no parts to wear out or jam
• Available with Delphi connector or 12” (305 mm) wire leads
• RoHS compliant
• IP67
• Maximum air gap of 5.5 mm (0.22”)*

AN8 Series Angle Position Sensors Typical Applications
• Implement (fork lift, agricultural trailer hitch, etc.) position sensing
• Steer, throttle by wire
• Gear selection
• Zero-contact encoder alternative
• Replacement for smart bearings
• Outboard trim sensing
