MGB-TECH - Model SAE1 -Multifunction Angular CAN Sensor
The SAE1 multifunction angular sensor is engineered for high precision and adaptability, crucial for demanding machine guidance applications. It boasts high accuracy with a 0.1° measurement accuracy and a 0.025° resolution, making it suitable for both pitch/roll and 360° angle detection. The sensor's construction features a resilient stainless steel 316 housing, ensuring durability even in harsh environments. Leveraging MEMS technology, it eliminates moving parts for enhanced impact resistance and reliability. It connects via CAN bus, allowing in-field configuration with three predefined filters to tailor responsiveness. The sensor supports a data update rate from 1 Hz to 30 Hz, adjustable for various operational needs. Its versatility is exemplified by a range of mounting and cabling options catering to different applications, such as bulldozers and excavators. The SAE1 is IP69K-rated for pressure wash resilience and submersible up to 16 meters, tested at up to 4 bar. Operating between -20°C and +60°C, it consumes under 1 Watt power from a 10-30 VDC supply.
Multifunction angular sensor
- Both pitch/roll and 360° angle sensor
- 0.1° accuracy
- 0.025° accuracy
- Rugged stainless steel 316 housing
- Software configurable
The SAE1 is a high accuracy angle CAN sensor. It is specifically designed to be used in demanding machine guidance applications. It can be software configured as a full 360° angle sensor or a +-90° pitch roll sensor. Its stainless steel housing and connectors provide protection in the harshest environments.
- MEMS technology : The SAE1 uses MEMS technology to create a sensor that has no moving parts. This ensures that it can endure high impacts and has no mechanical wear.
- CANConfigurable over CAN bus : Once installed the sensor can be configured over the CAN bus. It has three predefined filters to match the required responsiveness.
- Multifunctional sensor : It is designed so you would only need one sensor that can be configured for the task at hand. It can be used for both bulldozer and excavator applications.
- Wide range of possibilites : There are a variety of mounting plates and cabling solutions with or without protection readily available to meet the different applications.
- Verified stability : Every sensor is calibrated to specification and verified on our calibration benches in both the rotational and pitch-roll planes and is stability verified before shipping. During calibration the sensor is referenced to the sides and bottom of the housing for angular en pitch roll respectively.
- Data update rate : The data update rate can be set from 1 Hz up to 30 Hz.
