MLX90365KGO-ABB-000-RE

Position Sensors - Angle, Linear Position Measuring

The MLX90365KGO-ABB-000-RE serves as an accurately calibrated angle and linear position measuring device. It features a digital output signal, which is easily integrated with most industrial systems. This position sensor consists of a rectangular-shaped housing with inlaid coils. The coils measure the angle or linear position of the housing with which the MLX90365KGO-ABB-000-RE is attached. The coils do this by generating magnetic fields and measuring their distortion when the housing is moved.

The MLX90365KGO-ABB-000-RE provides a contactless solution for measuring the angular or linear position of a device connected to it. This allows for accurate, long-term operation without the need for recalibrating due to wear. Moreover, its contactless design eliminates the issues associated with contact wear, such as accumulated dirt or grease that can impair the accuracy of contact-based sensors. In addition, this contactless design also allows for a higher accuracy of the position measurement.

The MLX90365KGO-ABB-000-RE is designed to measure the rotational and linear positions of mechanisms. The sensor can be attached to either the mechanism or the environment, depending on the application. When attached to the mechanism, the sensor measures the rotational angle of the mechanism as it rotates or the linear distance the mechanism moves. When attached to the environment, the sensor measures the angular or linear distance between the two.

The MLX90365KGO-ABB-000-RE is perfect for applications requiring precise angle or linear measurements. Examples include robotic arms in industrial automation, manual or automatic gearboxes in cars, and crane jibs in material handling. The sensor is also ideal for applications where frequent movement and vibration of the mechanism can affect the accuracy of contact-based measurements.

When it comes to the working principle of the MLX90365KGO-ABB-000-RE, it makes use of two coils of wire to generate and measure magnetic fields. A drive coil is used to generate an alternating magnetic field. This field is then distorted by the movement of the attached housing, causing the voltage of the field to change. That voltage is then measured by the sense coil, which provides a digital output signal.

This output signal can be easily integrated with most industrial systems and is used to measure angle or linear position, depending on the application. Moreover, the sensor’s contactless design ensures that it will work accurately over long periods without requiring calibration due to wear. The accuracy of this sensor allows it to be used in a wide variety of applications, such as robotic arms, manual or automatic gearboxes, and crane jibs.
