Read all about our Rotation sensor

Rotero offers a comprehensive range of rotation sensors. The right choice of rotation sensor depends on the specific application and your unique desires and requirements. Explore this page to discover all the details and find the ideal rotation sensor that perfectly meets your needs.

What is a rotation sensor?

Rotation sensors are important for accurate angle measurements in various industrial applications. They convert rotational movements into electrical signals that systems use for optimal control. As a result, rotation sensors are indispensable in sectors such as machine construction, automation, robotics and vehicle technology.

Types

Our range includes different types of rotation sensor. Such as:

  • Potentiometric rotation sensors: these sensors use a variable resistance to measure the angle of rotation. This sensor contains a movable arm that rotates when the object moves. The rotation changes the resistance in the circuit, which is converted into an electrical voltage corresponding to the angle.
  • Magnetic rotation sensors: these sensors measure the rotation angle based on the magnetic field. They use a magnet attached to a rotating object and sensors that detect changes in the magnetic field.
  • Optical rotation sensors: optical rotation sensors use light to measure rotation. They often work with a rotating disc with patterns or codes, which interrupts a light source as it turns. The sensor detects the interruptions and converts them into an angle signal.
  • Capacitive rotation sensors: this type of sensor works by measuring changes in electrical capacitance that occur when an object rotates. Two conductive plates create a capacitor, and the distance or rotation between these plates changes the capacitance. This change can be converted into a rotation measurement.

Features

Our rotation sensors are known worldwide for their accuracy and reliability. Thanks to their compact and durable design, they are a key choice for machine constructors and automation specialists. Our rotation sensors stand out for their:

  • High resolution for precise positioning
  • Robust construction that withstands industrial conditions
  • Flexibility in configuration so they can be easily integrated into different systems
  • Reliable performance, even in environments with high vibration or extreme temperatures

Rotation sensors generally have a long service life due to their robust design and high-quality materials. Depending on the application and usage conditions, these sensors can function accurately for years without performance loss. This is crucial in industrial environments, where downtime is costly and reliability is essential. The long service life contributes to higher machine uptime and lower maintenance costs.

Applications

Rotation sensors are used in numerous applications, such as in industrial automation for controlling machines and robotic arms, transport and logistics for precisely positioning vehicles and conveyors, energy generation, for example in wind turbines for monitoring the rotor position, and medical equipment where precision is vital, such as in surgical robots. Each application requires a specific solution, and at Rotero, we ensure that you choose the right rotation sensor that meets your needs.
