Position sensors typically measure the position of an actuator or device. The range of senses they measure can vary greatly, from linear position, to angular position, to temperature, pressure, force, proximity, and much more. In the case of the 55300-00-02-A, it is an angular position sensing device. Its specific applications and operating principles will be discussed here.

Applications

The 55300-00-02-A is an ABS verified, general purpose, angular position sensing device. It is typically used in applications where contact detection is difficult or impossible. It is applied in industrial automation, motion control, and mechanical engineering. Typical applications include the detection of gear teeth, camshafts, or any other moving shaft.

The 55300-00-02-A is an angular position sensor. It can detect position up to 360 degrees with an accuracy of 0.1 degree. It supports a range of current draw from 3mA to 13mA with an output voltage from 5V to 24V DC. It has a built-in diagnostic output and is both temperature and magnetic field compatible.

Working Principle

The 55300-00-02-A angular position sensor works on the principle of operation. It consists of a coil and a magnetic core. When a current is applied to the coil, an electromagnetic field is generated. This field is used to detect the position of a magnetic source, such as the gear or camshafts. The magnetic field from the source is sensed by the coil and converted into a corresponding analog output voltage.

The device senses the position in two ways. The first is the direct sensing method, where the full 360 degree range is sampled at once, and the second is the incremental sensing method, where a series of pulses are sent and the encoder counts them to detect the position. In either case, the analog output voltage generated by the device is proportional to the position measured.

Summary

The 55300-00-02-A angular position sensor is a general purpose, ABS-verified device. It is used in industrial automation, motion control, and mechanical engineering applications where contact detection is difficult or impossible. It uses the principle of electromagnetic operation, sensing the position with either a direct or incremental sensing method. When a current is applied, it generates an analog output voltage proportional to the position sensed.
