Rotary position sensor
Type DST X520
For mobile hydraulic applications

The Danfoss DST X520 rotary position sensors
without shaft are designed for use in mobile
hydraulic applications.
Danfoss DST X520 series uses contactless Hall
technology with measurement ranges up to360°. The Sensors designed for off-highway
applications and resistant to shock andvibrations and with high electromagneticcompatibility.
They are E1 approved for on-highway
applications. They comes with either analogue,
CANopen or SAE J1939 output.
Single and redundant sensor types areavailable, making the complete portfolio
suitable for safetycritical applications.
Features• Contactless Hall technology for almost
infinite sensor life time
• Single or Redundant ranges up to 360°(±180°)• Output: Analogue, CANopen or SAE J1939• Linearity: < ± 0.5% FS• Resolution:◦ 12 bit (analog)◦ 14 bit (CANopen/SAE J1939)• IP protection level IP67 - IP69K with female
mating connector• High quality 10 mm SmCo Magnet
