The ADMT4000 is integrated into linear and rotary
actuators, providing versatility. In a typical rotary-to-
linear actuator, placing the ADMT4000 at the end of the
shaft enables it to track the number of rotations even
when the power is turned off. By knowing the pitch of
the lead screw, engineers can accurately ascertain the
linear position of moving components, such as gears,
clutches, or humanoid limbs (e.g., elbows or knees).
With an integrated 360-degree sensor accurate to 0.25
degrees, the ADMT4000 delivers resolution across its
full range of 16,560 degrees.
As industries strive to enhance efficiency and
reliability, the ADMT4000 single-chip multi-turn
position sensor from Analog Devices, Inc. is set to
become a change agent. By overcoming the limitations
of traditional angle sensors and offering a compact,
robust, and accurate solution, the ADMT4000
empowers engineers to streamline their designs
and improve the performance of their systems. As
the demand for position sensing escalates across
industrial automation, robotics, and humanoid
applications, the ADMT4000 is prepared to face
the challenge, reducing downtime and increasing
productivity in modern industry.
