Selection Guide of Rotary Sensors

Selection Guides

  • Applications requiring oil resistance -> Select a stainless steel enclosure offering greater oil resistance (Note1).
  • Applications requiring control of forward/reverse rotation -> Select the 2-phase (A, B) type.
  • Applications requiring absolute position control of the origin -> Select the type with the integrated Z-phase.
  • Applications requiring high-resolution control -> Select a type that accommodates a small module (Note2).
  • Applications requiring digital signals -> Select the type with integrated amplifier.

*1)Many types of oils and cutting lubricants are in use. Before using the sensor, verify that it is resistant to the oil or cutting lubricant used in your application.

*2)Types accommodating modules ranging from 0.15 to 3 are available. Contact us for details.
