Product Overview

The MTS-360 Miniature Hall-Effect Through-Shaft Rotary Position Sensor offers a breakthrough in contactless sensor technology, combining a through-shaft design with 360 absolute position feedback in an ultra-miniature size. It provides endless mechanical rotational angle without a dead band and retains position on power loss with programmable electrical angles from 15 to 360 degrees. Its fully customizable nature allows for programmable transfer functions, switch outputs, and various output protocols and redundancy levels. The true contactless operation, without gears or mechanical interfaces, ensures easy assembly, calibration, and limited wear for an extended lifetime of up to 50 million cycles. The through-hole design facilitates shaft insertion from top or bottom, simplifying assembly and making it ideal for space-constrained applications. Applications span Industrial (optical image stabilization, biomedical devices, robotics), Home and Building Automation (HVAC), and Transportation (valve monitoring, autonomous steering).
