NON-CONTACT POSITION SENSOR
Blade360
Full 360 degree rotary, IP67.
Blade360 is the rotary member of the Blade range, measuring a full 360 degrees with a fully configurable range, and it is sealed to IP67 for temporary immersion. Its digital output is RS485 rather than RS232. Start from the movement being measured, then confirm the interface, because the two are not independent choices across this range.

BEFORE YOU SPECIFY
Is the Blade360 the correct configuration?
Before specifying, confirm:
- the measurement or level range the application needs
- the output and interface the receiving system expects
- the fluid or medium and its effect on the sensing surface
- the environmental sealing the installation demands
- the mounting arrangement and available space
- any approval or certification the application requires
If those match, the Blade360 provides that configuration.
