Overview
Angular position transducers are robust measuring systems used to record the angular position of objects. They are hermetically sealed and designed for extreme environments, with a protection degree of IP 68. These transducers are commonly used in commercial vehicles and mechanical engineering applications.

Types of Transducers

• Magnetic Transducers: Used for steering axles and articulated arms, output signals can be analogue or digital.
• Potentiometric Transducers: Feature a high-resolution resistance element with a linearity of ±0.1%, outputting resistance, current, or voltage variations.
• Inductive Transducers: Non-contacting type, ideal for environments with extreme vibration or shock, used in energy and chemical industries.
• Optoelectronic Transducers: High-resolution systems with code disks, available in single- or multi-turn versions, used in railway vehicles and cranes.

System Versions
Transducer systems are available in various synchro sizes and configurations, including:

• Inductive Systems (WD): Available in synchro sizes 20 and 23, with differential inductors and ATEX approval for explosive environments.
• Potentiometric Systems (PK): Include signal converters with current or voltage output.
• Magnetic Systems (MR and MH): Enclosed in aluminium casing, output signals can be analogue or digitally coded.
• Optoelectronic Systems (XI and XA): Available in incremental or absolutely coded designs, with digital or analogue outputs.

Specifications
Key specifications include:

• Casing material: Anodized aluminium with optional saline-resistant coating.
• Shaft material: Stainless steel with ball bearings.
• Temperature range: -30°C to +70°C.
• Output options: Current (4-20 mA), voltage, or digital (CAN open).
• Protection: IP67 to IP68, depending on the model.

Models and Characteristics
Various models are available, each with specific characteristics such as:

• Single-turn or multi-turn capabilities.
• Different synchro sizes and casing dimensions.
• Output options including voltage, current, and pulse outputs.
• Redundant electronics for safety-critical applications.

Additional Components
Additional components include signal converters and power supplies with signal isolators, designed for use in intrinsically safe environments with ATEX approval.

Protective Casings
Protective casings are available for mounting transducers, offering pressure-tight protection and a degree of protection up to IP68 for harsh environments.
