The Common Angular Sensor (UAS) from Forvia Hella is a newly developed modular rotary angle sensor for exact and dependable measurement of angular positions in autos and agricultural equipment
The Common Angular Sensor (UAS) makes use of confirmed CIPOS expertise (Contactless Inductive Place Sensor), which permits a contactless, inductive measuring precept. Because of this the sensor operates with out put on and is extraordinarily proof against exterior magnetic fields and interference, even underneath excessive situations. With its mixture of excessive precision, flexibility and robustness, the UAS units new requirements in fashionable angle measurement throughout quite a few off-highway functions.
“Because of confirmed CIPOS expertise, our new rotary angle sensor meets the trade’s want for strong and modular measurement options. Right here, we draw on our expertise from the greater than 1 billion CIPOS sensors produced to this point, that are efficiently utilized in all kinds of functions,” says Dr. Fabian Utermöhlen, vice chairman gross sales & advertising within the Lifecycle Options Enterprise Group at Forvia Hella.
With sequence manufacturing deliberate for 2026, Forvia Hella is responding particularly to the rising demand for detecting completely different ranges in addition to exact, dependable angle and inclination measurement whereas lowering set up prices.
What units this sensor aside?
The UAS options versatile technical properties that allow versatile adaptation to varied software eventualities. The fundamental precept relies on a contactless, inductive measuring technique (CIPOS), which makes use of alternating electromagnetic fields to detect angular positions with excessive precision.
Because of its modular design, the sensor may be flexibly tailored to particular necessities.
Mechanically, the sensor consists of a base sensor that may be configured with completely different rotor components, circuit boards and connections as required. This modular design permits completely different lever arms or profiled shaft connections, fasteners and additional connectors to be mixed in order that the sensor may be optimally tailored to the respective set up state of affairs. The measuring angle vary, communication interface, sign decision and even the nominal voltage may also be outlined based on buyer specs to make sure seamless integration into present programs. This modular design reduces growth effort and set up prices. The strong design with IP6K9K safety permits utilization in environments with dust, mud, water and excessive mechanical hundreds with out impairing the sensor operate.
Environment friendly place measurement
The UAS from Forvia Hella provides quite a few functions in agriculture, starting from exact machine management to system monitoring. The UAS can be utilized for the measurement and management of steering programs in tractors and agricultural equipment. It could detect the precise place of the steering wheels, enabling exact management of the autos. That is significantly essential for computerized steering programs that require a excessive degree of accuracy.
One other use of the UAS is for monitoring the place of flaps or doorways in stables and granaries. The sensor can monitor the place of flaps or doorways to make sure that they’re correctly opened or closed. That is essential for air flow and safety of saved crops.
Furthermore, the UAS can monitor and management hydraulic cylinders on harvesting machines. The sensor can monitor the place of hydraulic cylinders liable for elevating and decreasing reducing items or different attachments. This ensures optimum efficiency and prevents injury to the machines.
A robust electronics portfolio
With the UAS, Forvia Hella is increasing its electronics portfolio for off-highway prospects, which incorporates sensors, management items, actuators and lighting electronics. These options mixed meet the calls for of contemporary machines – with a deal with effectivity, security, sustainability and design. The UAS is a complicated resolution for exact place measurement. With sequence manufacturing scheduled to start out in 2026, the workforce at the moment are discussing particulars.
