If not, here’s a short summary.

Multiturn sensors with GMR-effect (Giant-Magneto-Resistance) provide absolute position data. They do not need reference signals, power supply or buffer battery to detect the turns. Pretty smart, right?

So where is a multiturn sensor with GMR a good idea? Everywhere in applications where you need to know the position if the power supply fails.

Or it is placed in an inconvenient place where it is difficult to reset after power failure.

Mikkelsen’s longtime partner – Novotechnik – are super experienced in sensors that last and fit into almost every environment. One of the contributing factors to long life is the contactless technology. Through magnetism the sensor measures without being worn so wear parts are history.

Other features:

• Measuring range up to 5760° (16 turns)
• Resolution 16 bit
• High IP
• Miniature design
• Full and hollow shaft variants

For applications with very high humidity and media exposure, the use of rod ends made of stainless steel can be useful. For this reason we are offering two new conversion kits as accessories for the LWG/LWX and TEX/TX2 series, each with 2 pivot heads. The accuracy (play) of the stainless steel pivot heads corresponds to the standard pivot heads.
For larger quantities, special models with already mounted stainless steel pivot heads are recommended.

Content of accessory set
2x pivot head M8 with external thread 2x nut (stainless steel)
1x pivot head M5 with external thread, 1x pivot head M5 with internal thread

Information available so please contact us.

The conversion kits are available from approx. June 2023.
