Features

Achieves a high accuracy of ±0.1 degree with a simple configuration

With a simple configuration using a 2-pole magnet, the AK7455B is capable of high-precision angle detection of ±0.1° and fast response of 5μs.

In addition, since the angle can be corrected by a simple procedure including errors due to assembly tolerances, fine mounting position adjustment is not required.

Stable System Operation Even in Harsh Temperature Environments

AKM’s unique sensor design and circuit technology ensure excellent offset and sensitivity characteristics, achieving superior temperature performance.

As a result, the sensor performs stably even in areas with significant temperature changes, such as near dashboards or roofs.

Compatible with Both Shaft-End and Off-Axis Configurations

The sensor supports both shaft-end and off-axis configurations.

Supporting off-axis configuration enables flexible layouts such as thinner designs along the shaft axis and  internal wiring for motor cables.
