With the MPE19-HALL potentiometer, EBE sensors + motion offers a product that impresses with its absolutely wear-free signal generation thanks to an integrated magnetic sensor. This ensures extremely high durability.

The MPE19 potentiometer from EBE is ideal for use in human-machine interfaces (HMI) in almost all industries that rely on high-quality potentiometers. It therefore offers a simple way to replace conventional high-quality wire and cermet potentiometers. The potentiometer features a compact design with a diameter of 19 mm and a height of approximately 20 mm behind the front panel. The robust central mounting is achieved via an M10x0.75 mm thread with flattenings (D-profile), which allows the potentiometer to be mounted securely and stably.

Designed for 1,000,000 operating cycles with detent, the MPE19 promises an extremely long service life. Conventional high-quality potentiometers offer a maximum of usually less than 50,000 operating cycles or, with detent, even far less. The MPE19 thus exceeds these by a factor of 20. It also offers an adjustable detent mechanism or, alternatively, no detent with end stops. This allows flexible use in a wide range of applications, such as machine controls, settings on tractors and construction machinery, control of adjustment variables in sound and lighting technology, and also in medical technology. The stainless steel shaft with a diameter of 6 mm ensures high load capacity and stability. The analog voltage output signal of the MPE19 moves clockwise from 0 V DC to the supply voltage VCC at a current resolution of 0.017 V per degree. The HALL sensor also replicates the typical voltage curve of regular potentiometers with an initial 0V phase and extended maximum output voltage at the end of the rotation angle. In addition, the sealed shaft, together with the panel seal, ensures comprehensive protection against the ingress of dust and water in accordance with IP protection specifications.

For easy integration into existing systems, the potentiometer is equipped with a standardized MicroMatch connector. The MPE19 has been specially tested for industrial environments and operates with a supply voltage of up to 5 V DC at a maximum current of 20 mA.
