Position Sensors – Angle, Linear Position Measuring
8154V1T5L.5FS Application Field and Working Principle
Position sensors are commonly used in a wide range of industries, such as automotive, aerospace, medical, motion control, and robotics. They are used to measure linear or rotary motion, position, and velocity. The 8154V1T5L.5FS is a type of position sensor that is used to detect the angular position of a rotating shaft.
The 8154V1T5L.5FS utilizes a cable-style battery-free, non-contacting sensor that uses Hall-effect technology. It produces a ratiometric output based on rotational speed, or angle of the shaft. In other words, the sensor generates a signal that is proportional to the rotational speed or angle of the shaft.
The 8154V1T5L.5FS performs reasonably accurate measurements over a wide range of angle displacements. It is available in an angular displacement range of 0 to 360°. This range is adjustable and can be programmed to the desired range. The accuracy of the 8154V1T5L.5FS is 0.5% of the full-scale range and the device has a resolution of 0.001°.
The 8154V1T5L.5FS has two sensors, each consisting of a Hall-effect element and associated circuit. One sensor is installed on the rotating shaft and the other is installed on a stationary reference surface. When the two elements are facing each other, a differential voltage is formed which is proportional to the displacement of the rotating element. This voltage can be converted to a signal reflecting the angle or rotational speed of the shaft.
The 8154V1T5L.5FS is capable of operating over a temperature range of -40 to 85°C with a protection level of IP67. The sensor is designed for maximum long-term reliability, and is equipped with advanced signal conditioning circuits and signal processing technology.
The 8154V1T5L.5FS can be used in applications such as motor control, servo motors, robotics, encoders, and automotive and aerospace applications. It is designed to offer a cost-effective solution for any application requiring precise angular, linear or rotational position measurement.
