BI Technologies now provides a digital angular position sensor (DAPS) for automotive steering applications—a precision output, non-contact device for absolute position sensing. This high-resolution device offers analog, PWM and CAN bus outputs, and utilizes proprietary broadband energy transfer technology to provide extremely accurate position and speed information. The DAPS sensor features 12-bit resolution over the full 360° of rotation with absolute position output available up to ۫,440°. These position sensors can also be programmed by customers at the time of installation to set "zero degree" positions. The company believes these products have a life cycle of at least 25 million rotations. DAPS technology is ideally suited for use in automotive stability control systems in which accurate steering position information is necessary. In addition, the sensor can be integrated with BI Technologies’ Magnetorque sensing technology for compliant shaft applications that require torque sensing. The company also produces custom package sizes to meet specific customer requirements.
