Rotary position sensor
Type DST X520
For mobile hydraulic applications
The Danfoss DST X520 rotary position sensors
without shaft are designed for use in mobile
hydraulic applications.
Danfoss DST X520 series uses contactless Hall
technology with measurement ranges up to
360°. The Sensors designed for o-highway
applications and resistant to shock and
vibrations and with high electromagnetic
compatibility.
They are E1 approved for on-highway
applications. They comes with either analogue,
CANopen or SAE J1939 output.
Single and redundant sensor types are
available, making the complete portfolio
suitable for safetycritical applications.
Features
• Contactless Hall technology for almost
innite sensor life time
• Single or Redundant ranges up to 360°
(±180°)
• Output: Analogue, CANopen or SAE J1939
• Linearity: < ± 0.5% FS
• Resolution:
