Angle sensors Singleturn

Our single-turn angle sensors are specifically designed to detect precise angular positions within a 360° range. These sensors play a crucial role in mechanical engineering and Medical Engineering by enhancing accuracy and efficiency in a wide variety of processes. The sensor technology used—for example, based on magnetic measurement principles such as the Hall effect—ensures that every measurement meets the stringent requirements of modern applications.

In industrial automation processes and robotics, for example, high precision and reliable angle detection are essential for stabilizing production and control processes.
Singleturn angle sensors provide precise measurements, as even the slightest deviations can have a significant impact on the process. Thanks to rugged housings made of high-strength materials, these sensors are designed to withstand extreme temperature and vibration conditions. This design extends service life and reduces maintenance requirements, thereby increasing operational efficiency.

Key Benefits of Singleturn Angle Sensors

• High measurement accuracy: By utilizing magnetic principles such as the Hall effect, the highest level of accuracy is ensured, which is essential for precise control tasks.
• Versatile designs: Available in versions with a solid shaft, a hollow shaft, or as a two-piece system with Position marker external Position marker to accommodate various installation requirements.
• Rugged design: Engineered for harsh environments, they withstand extreme conditions and deliver precise results even in the most demanding settings.

Specific Applications for Single-Turn Angle Sensors

• Industrial automation: Controlling complex machines that require precise motion control, such as swivel arms in packaging systems.
• Robotics: Enables precise control of robot joints and improves performance on production lines.
• Mobile machinery: Precise measurement of steering, axle, and pedal angles, as well as boom and valve positions, e.g., in construction machinery; resistant to vibration, dirt, and electromagnetic interference.
• Medical Engineering: Supports the precise control of medical devices and instruments, for example, to perform surgeries safely and accurately.

Novotechnik Single-Turn Angle Sensors – Versatile, Precise, and Adaptable

Novotechnik offers a wide range of single-turn encoder technologies for a variety of operating conditions. Below you will find brief overviews of the most important models.

Bearingless encoders operate contactlessly thanks to their two-part design: A fixed sensor detects a Position marker mounted on the moving part. Since neither mechanical bearings nor a rigid coupling are required, there is no mechanical wear, maintenance requirements are reduced, and service life is extended. The easy-to-install separation of the sensor and Position marker integration and retrofitting and accommodates typical installation tolerances. As a result, the systems deliver reliable measurement data even under harsh operating conditions and meet high availability requirements.

Absolute encoders detect angular positions from 0 to 360° and provide valid position data immediately after power-up without requiring a reference run. They are resistant to vibrations and temperature fluctuations, offer redundancy when needed, and feature a variety of interfaces for efficient integration.

Potentiometric encoders provide high-resolution position and speed data for fast, dynamic processes and reliably detect even the smallest movements in real time, with a long service life and minimal power consumption.

Magnetic encoders are highly robust and suitable for demanding industrial and outdoor environments. Thanks to a wide range of interfaces, they integrate easily into a variety of systems and deliver reliable, low-failure performance—from mechanical engineering to agriculture.
