Novotechnik expands its product portfolio with the compact multi-turn rotary position sensor MZ1-2200. The new sensor has a housing diameter of just 22 mm, making it the smallest multi-turn angle sensor in the product range (Figure 1). Additionally, the MZ1 is a “True-Power-On-System”, where rotations are detected magnetically, and the absolute position is retained even in the event of a power failure. With its 44 turns (=15840°) and extremely compact design, the MZ1-2200 enables applications that previously could not be served due to space constraints.

Innovative „True-Power-On-Technology”

The MZ1-2200 multiturn sensor uses non-contact and therefore wear-free revolution counting by means of the GMR effect (Giant Magneto Resistance). Sensors based on this technology provide absolute position values, require no reference signals and do not need a power supply, buffer battery or separate memory elements to detect and store the position across multiple positions. The sensor has a resolution of 16 bits across 360° and the position information is transferred via digital or analog interfaces. The MZ1-2200 is available with the interface variants CANopen, CAN SAE J1939, IO-Link or a ratiometric output signal.


Compact Sensor, Wide Range of Applications

With the multi-turn sensor, Novotechnik offers a solution for demanding applications where precision, reliability and a compact size are required. The MZ1-2200 is the ideal choice for industrial applications, automation technology or mobile machinery - wherever maximum functionality and minimum space requirements are needed.
Examples include integration into drives used for gate control, seat adjustment, or process technology. Multiturn sensors are also frequently used in vehicles or other transport systems for steering, transmissions, or individual wheel control.

Space-Saving Design and Fully Equipped

With the new MZ1-2200, Novotechnik has developed a compact solution for limited installation spaces. With a housing diameter of 22 mm, the sensor is easy to integrate and is maintenance-free and seal-free thanks to the contactless measuring principle. Even under harsh environmental conditions, the miniature sensor works absolutely reliably thanks to protection class IP65. The fully encapsulated electronics give dust and liquids no chance.
