MR430 Series

Fiber Optic Absolute Rotary Position Sensor System

The MR430 series ZapFREE® Fiber Optic Position Sensor is a small form factor, rotary position sensor with 13-bit, single-turn resolution.
The MR430 features an innovative design which enables new applications and OEM product features not formerly possible with electronics-based sensors.
The sensor is 100% passive and is unaffected by EMI, RFI, microwaves and magnetic fields. The innovative, all dielectric design also provides 100% electrical isolation and immunity to high voltages & lightning. Features include:

100% passive optical sensor – no power supply required
Size 11 (Ø1.1”) small form factor
Single turn resolution 0.044°
Up to 25-bit output (13 bits Single Turn + 12 bits Multi-Turn)
Immune to EMI, RFI, high voltage and lightning
Immune and invisible to magnetic fields
Non-metallic, all-dielectric MRI Safe sensor
M-POF fiber optic link can extend up to 30 meters
DIN rail mount controller
