Application:

The absolute measuring angle transmitter MGAx serves the acquisition of positioning units and other elements such as gates, flaps, valves, drawbridges, sluicegates, etc. which have horizontal axis.  This clamp-on unit is of a compact, robust and maintenance-free construction.  The extremely simple mounting by weldable split taper sockets directly onto the moving enables a wide range of applications.
 

Short description:

A gravity-actuated pendulum with electro-dynamic damping transmits the movement to be measured to a primary sensor.  This either resistive or optical sensor converts the movement into a digital electrical signal.
Signal processing within the unit takes place digitally with the aid of microcontroller.  The unit can be parameterized locally by means of an optional Control Unit or can be remotely parameterized by means of HART or fieldbus.
