Magnetic position sensor can replace optical encoders and resolvers

The new AMS AS5047P magnetic position sensor is now available from Digi-Key. featuring higher rotation speeds and higher-resolution incremental outputs, The new 47 series targets motor and motion control applications,. The AS5047P features AMS' DAEC (dynamic angle error compensation) technology, which produces outstanding angle measurement accuracy even at very high rotation speeds. The 47 series magnetic sensors' high-speed performance and ABI incremental outputs make them ideal as robust replacements for optical encoders, says the company.
