Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the specifications and features of the Electromagnetic Miniature Rotary Sensor, Model PBA 12, produced by TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH. It highlights the sensor's design, mechanical and electrical data, environmental conditions, and additional accessories.
Design: The sensor measures angle positions using Hall sensors and processes signals to generate an analogue output from 0 to 5 V. It features a robust brass housing, a stainless steel shaft with a sliding bearing, and an ASIC with Hall elements for contactless, wear-free operation. The measuring range is 360°.
Mechanical Data: The sensor is available with either a sleeve bushing or ball bearing. The sleeve bushing supports a maximum operating speed of 100 rpm, while the ball bearing supports up to 1500 rpm. Torque and weight differ between the two types, with the sleeve bushing having a torque of 0.35 ± 0.14 Ncm and a weight of approximately 14 g, and the ball bearing having a torque of 0.035 max and a weight of approximately 12 g.
Environmental Data: The operating temperature range is from -40 °C to +125 °C, with a storage temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C. The sensor is ESD resistant up to 2 kV and has an IP 40 protection rating.
Electrical Data: The sensor operates within a voltage range of +4.5 VDC to +5.5 VDC, with a typical operating current of 16 mA. It offers a 10-bit resolution and an absolute accuracy of less than ± 0.5° at 25 °C. The output voltage ranges from 0 to 5 V, with a load resistance of at least 10 kΩ.
Accessories: The sensor comes with a washer and securing nut. An STS3GS08 mating connector with a 300 mm connection wire is available separately.
Installation Note: The sensor contains a small magnet that may affect nearby sensors if placed closer than 25 mm apart. Magnetic shielding is recommended in such cases.

Dimensions in mm Ball bearing Sleeve bushing Note: Internally, the PBA12 contains a small magnet. This also generates a weak magnetic field outside of the sensor, which may influence neighbouring sensors. If the distance between two PBA12s is less than 25 mm (distance between axes), magnetic shielding (e.g. an iron plate) must be installed between both sensors.
