Sensata – BEI Sensors' LP35 is a low-profile magnetic encoder designed for measuring precise rotary measurements in rugged, dirty industrial applications. It combines the compactness of a low-profile design while retaining the robustness of magnetic encoder technology. It offers a form factor that is identical to optical encoders allowing easy retrofitting. Due to its magnetic technology, it offers shock and vibration tolerance that is ten times its optical counterpart's. Its 26 mm profile allows it to fit into tight applications while its potted electronics make it less prone to seal failure. Lastly, Sensata offers a blank programmable version of the LP35 which allows it to be programmed on the fly on the factory floor.
