An angle sensor is a device that detects the angular position or rotational movement of a mechanical component. It converts the measured angle into an electrical signal that can be read by a controller, PLC, display, or other electronic system.
Magnetic Angle Sensor
A magnetic angle sensor determines angular position by detecting changes in a magnetic field. It provides non-contact measurement and is suitable for applications where the sensing element and rotating target do not need direct mechanical contact.
Rotary Angle Sensor
A rotary angle sensor measures the rotational position of a shaft or mechanical component. It can provide angular feedback for rotating mechanisms, control systems, and industrial equipment.
Absolute Angle Sensor
An absolute angle sensor provides the actual angular position within its specified measurement range. The position can be transmitted to a control or monitoring system through the sensor's output interface.
Position Angle Sensor
A position angle sensor detects angular position and provides feedback about the location of a moving mechanical component. It can be used in motion control, automation, robotics, and mechanical positioning systems.
Inductive Angle Sensor
An inductive angle sensor detects angular position using an inductive sensing principle. It can be used for angular position measurement where an inductive sensing method and compatible electrical output are required.
An angle sensor measures the angular position, rotation, or displacement of a mechanical component and converts the measured movement into an electrical signal. Depending on the sensing technology and measurement range, an angle sensor can detect partial angular movement or continuous rotation up to 360°.
Common measurements include:
Angle sensors are used wherever a control or monitoring system needs information about angular position or rotational movement.
Robotic Arms
Measure the angular position of robotic joints and rotating mechanisms.
Motor and Servo Systems
Provide rotational position feedback for motors, actuators, and servo mechanisms.
Machinery and Equipment
Measure shaft, lever, actuator, and rotary component positions.
Position Feedback
Send angular position information to PLCs, controllers, or monitoring systems.

Choosing an angle sensor mainly depends on the required measurement range, output signal, measurement performance, and operating environment. Compare these four factors to match the sensor with the application.
