NOVOHALL Rotary Sensor, series RFD-4000

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of the RFD-4000 series rotary sensor by Novotechnik, which utilizes touchless technology for measuring angles through non-ferromagnetic materials. It highlights the sensor's design, functionality, and technical specifications.
Key Features:
  • Touchless operation with no shaft or seals, ensuring durability.
  • Measurement capability through any non-ferromagnetic material.
  • Electrical range up to 360° with a linearity of ±0.5%.
  • Simple mounting and lateral magnet offset tolerance of ±1.5 mm.
  • Protection classes IP67, IP68, and IP69.
  • Available in single and redundant versions with unlimited mechanical lifetime.
  • Resolution of 12 bits and a compact 7 mm design.
Design and Functionality: The RFD-4000 sensor uses a separate magnet or magnetic position marker attached to the rotating shaft. It measures the orientation of the magnetic field and outputs an analog voltage representing the angle. The sensor's compact design allows for installation in small spaces, and it is resistant to dust, dirt, and moisture.
Technical Specifications:
  • Housing made of high-grade, temperature-resistant plastic.
  • Electrical connections via lead wires with options for single, partly redundant, and fully redundant configurations.
  • Supply voltage of 5 VDC with a no-load supply current of 13 mA per channel.
  • Measuring range from 0° to 360° in 10° steps, with a resolution of 12 bits.
  • Operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.
  • Vibration and shock resistance as per IEC standards.
  • EMC compatibility with various ISO and EN standards.
Ordering Information: The document provides ordering specifications, including preferred types for reduced delivery time and pricing. It also lists required and recommended accessories, such as position markers and process control indicators.
Additional Notes: The document emphasizes the need for users to verify performance parameters in their specific applications, as specifications are based on ideal conditions and may vary.

NOVOHALL Rotary Sensor, series RFD-4000-1

Siedle Group NOVOHALL Rotary Sensor touchless technology transmissive Series RFD-4000 Special features • fully touchless - no shaft or seals to wear • measure directly through any non-ferromagnetic material • electrical range up to 360° • linearity ±0.5 % • simple mounting • lateral magnet offset up to ±1.5 mm • protection class IP67, IP68, IP69 • single and redundant versions • unlimited mechanical lifetime • resolution 12 bit • excellent price/performance ratio • extremely flat 7 mm design The RFD-4000 utilizes a separate magnet or magnetic position marker, attached to the rotating shaft to be measured. The orientation of the magnetic field is measured and an analog voltage representing the angle is the output signal. The very compact physical dimentions allows installation in small spaces. The housing is made of high grade temperature-resistant plastic material. The sensor is sealed and is not sensitive to dust, dirt, or moisture. The two-part design, with the RFD sensor itself, and its magnetic position marker, offers great flexibility when mounting. The absence of shaft and bearing makes the assembly much less sensitive to axial and radial application tolerances. Measurements can be made transmissively through any nonferromagnetic material. Electrical connection is made via lead wires.
