Position Sensors — Angle, LinearPosition Measuring

Position sensors are used to measure a range of parameters including linear position, angular position, angular velocity, and acceleration. The AMS22S5A1BHAFL113 is a type of position sensor that covers both linear and angular measurements. It can detect angles in two axes and determine linear position along one axis. Let’s take a closer look at its applications and working principle.

Application Field

The AMS22S5A1BHAFL113 is commonly used in applications requiring measurement of angular position, linear displacement, and angular velocity. It is suitable for use in a variety of commercial applications such as railway track and speed monitoring systems. Furthermore, the unit can be used for water level measurement, the testing of turbine blade angle, and for motion control. In addition, it is ideal for use in industrial applications such as printing machines, robots, and medical equipment.

Working Principle

The AMS22S5A1BHAFL113 operates on a Hall Effect principle. This type of sensing device uses a small magnetic field to detect changes in the position of a ferrous object such as a gear, rod, or shaft. The sensor is placed close to the ferrous object and its output is affected when the object’s position changes. It will output a linear voltage signal to an analogue-to-digital converter (ADC). The output is proportional to the angular velocity or linear movement.

The AMS22S5A1BHAFL113position sensor is made up of two components. The first is the Hall element which consists of a small plate that detects changes in the magnetic field, and the second is an adjustable permanent magnet. The detection range is adjustable from 30° to 120° for the angular component.

The output from the sensor is typically a linear voltage signal. This may be fed directly to an ADC for conversion into a digital signal or used to control a servo motor. In order to technically work, the operating voltage should be between 5V and 15V and the output current should not exceed 20mA.

Conclusion

The AMS22S5A1BHAFL113 is an adjustable position sensor that uses the Hall Effect to measure angular velocity and linear displacement of a ferrous object in two axes and linear position in one axis. It is commonly used in commercial and industrial applications such as railway track and speed monitoring systems, water level measurement, and printing machines. The unit requires an operating voltage of between 5V and 15V and its output current should not exceed 20mA.
