The angle sensor IPX7900 is developed for rough operation under extreme environmental conditions in mobile applications. Equipped with a conductive plastic resistance element and a long term stable multi-finger wiper, the IPX angle sensor is suitable for durable operation even under challenging conditions.

A durable full metal housing, a continuous stainless steel shaft with double industrial ball bearing with large distance as well as an interlocking top cover protect the wiper from outer force effects. Hermetic sealing and the accuracy and reliability of the absolute angle measurement are further special features of this sensor. The massive but compact design allows the direct connection of the shaft using a strong lever arm or other couplings.

This sensor’s main application is the measurement of the steering angle in electro-hydraulic steering systems.

The centering of the housing is provided by a 58g6 mm centering diameter or - if mounted overhead - by a 16h7 mm diameter in the top cover. A POM shaft can be employed alternatively for enhanced isolation requirements.
