angular position sensor / linear / non-contact / magnetic

Safety guidelines for mobile machines and their requirements have been a major component in constructing new mobile machines, even before the introduction of EN ISO 13849. With the release of EN ISO 13849, many things have changed with regards to reliably recording angles and displacements. But new draft standards like EN 13000 for mobile cranes or EN 1175 for forklifts even go a step further, requiring additional measures. It’s not always possible to find a sensor on the market that fulfills the standard while also meeting requirements for robustness and long service life. What’s more, these sensors might not be available with the necessary flexibility in terms of interfaces or connection technology.
