ASM has released the PRDS1, a compact magnetic angle sensor in M12 housing. The angle is measured without contact and is wear-free over the measuring range up to 360° via a separate magnet.

From the POSIROT family, the sensor is 12mm in diameter and 50mm in depth. It is aimed at particularly compact applications where access is difficult.

The PRDS1 has a range of incremental digital outputs RS5V, RS24V and HT24V with other alternatives being continuously developed. The sensor is manufactured from stainless steel with an integral M12 thread incorporated into the M12 body giving sealing options from IP67 to IP69K.

The extremely compact designed PRDS1 angle sensor can be used for all applications where angle detection and angle monitoring is required, such as assembly lines, valve flap settings, packaging machines, medical equipment, etc.
