P510 High shaft loading rotary sensor

High-performance rotary sensor designed for high axial and radial shaft loads in harsh industrial environments.


Key features

  • Withstands axial loads up to 250 N and radial loads up to 350 N
  • Factory-set angle range between 11° and 160° with infinite resolution
  • Robust stainless steel body with IP67 protection
  • Long service life with contactless inductive technology
  • Multiple output options including voltage and current variants
  • Vibration- and shock-tested to industrial standards

Performance highlights P510 High shaft loading rotary sensor

The P510 rotary position sensor delivers precise angle measurements with high accuracy and linearity. It offers exceptional repeatability and reliability, with infinite resolution and low noise (<0.02% FSO). Designed for industrial and scientific environments, it maintains performance across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Usage conditions

The P510 is ideal for installations with significant mechanical stress. It tolerates axial shaft loads of up to 250 N and radial loads up to 350 N. Its rugged stainless steel housing and IP67 sealing ensure durability in dusty, wet, and demanding conditions.

Possible applications

  • Industrial automation systems
  • Robotic arms and rotary actuators
  • Scientific testing equipment
  • OEM equipment with heavy-duty mechanical loading
  • Agricultural and construction machinery

Advantages of choosing this product

Thanks to Althen’s proprietary inductive technology, the P510 sensor eliminates wear caused by traditional contacting components. This results in an extended operational life exceeding 80 million cycles even under full mechanical load. The sensor is easy to integrate with various output formats (voltage, current), connector or cable options, and shaft configurations.

Other important features

  • Output signal options: 0.5–4.5V, ±5V, ±10V, 0.5–9.5V, 4–20 mA (2/3-wire)
  • Optional gain and offset calibration access
  • EMC-compliant (EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-3)
  • High MTBF: 350,000 hrs at 40°C
  • Optional enhanced linearity: ≤ ±0.1% FSO over 100°
