Measuring Principle

A non contact, analog angle sensor carrying out absolute measuring by the use of the Anisotropic-Magneto-Resistive effect (AMR). Measuring of the absolute angle b means of a toothed measuring gear with magnetic properties in combination with different ratios. Corresponding AMR elements that change their electrical resistance according to the magnetic field direction detect the angle position of the measuring gears. A micro-controller decode: the measured voltage signals after A/D converting with the help of a mathematical function. Output of the digital angle value and velocity via CAN-interface.
