Small, light and robust, the Blade Rotary sensor (Figure 1) is fully electronic with on- board processing providing considerable configuration flexibility. It also has diagnostic information for assisting in system failsafe functionality. An attractive alternative to potentiometers and RVDTs, this sensor is ideal for a variety of automotive, industrial vehicle, marine and control applications where grime, moisture, temperature and vibration can have an adverse affect on other types of sensor.
