RS400 Rotational Sensor

CAN (SAE J1939) direct drive rotation sensor

The Trimble® RS400 is potentiometer-based rotation sensor that measures angle change between two pivoting members. Its primary application is measuring blade rotation used to calculate the cross-slope of a machine blade. The industry-standard J1939 CAN interface provides quick and easy system integration.

1939 CAN Interface – The J1939 CAN system sets the industry standard and features openarchitecture. The system interface means easy “plug and play” integration of the RS400 into your system.

Built to Last – The RS400 is built to deliver reliable, long-lasting performance in the on-machine
environment where extremes of temperature, vibration, moisture and dust are the norm. Designed to the toughest OEM standard in the industry, the RS400 delivers even in the harshest conditions.
