New rotary 8mm D shaft sensorVariohm EuroSensor has increased the range of their motorsports-proven Euro-XP non-contacting angle sensors, with a new 8 mm diameter D-shaft drive option, which is available with a choice of 32 or 38 mm PCD mounting. The D-shaft with its integral magnet makes for easier installation, particularly for throttle position sensing, without the need for a separate coupling. With the optimal magnet to sensing-element gap maintained within the assembly, and a choice of mounting diameters, form-fit interchangeability with competitive models is made easy. The coupling-free sensor is also convenient for direct connection on other motorsport position sensing applications such as steering angle, suspension and gearbox.

The new D-shaft sensor joins the Euro XP family with completely contactless technology with a long-life specification in excess of 50 million movements. The fully encapsulated sensor element ensures complete environmental protection – rated to IP68, and high protection against shock and vibration – making it a  perfect choice for challenging race track conditions.
