Overview
The Euro XPK Puck Sensor, developed by Variohm Eurosensor, is a rugged, non-contact rotary position sensor designed for demanding environments where reliability and flexibility are key. With a programmable angle range from 30° to 360°, redundant output, and IP68 sealing, the Euro XPK Puck provides accurate position feedback in a compact two-piece configuration — consisting of a sensor puck and a separate magnet.
This product is a logical extension of the well-proven Euro-XP platform, now redesigned for improved integration in applications requiring a separate magnet and enhanced environmental durability.
💡 In Israel, the Euro XPK Puck is available exclusively through Amironic – the official local representative for Variohm Eurosensor solutions, including Hall effect angle sensors and non-contact rotary encoders.

-
Maintain the specified axial gap and radial tolerance (±1 mm max).
-
Align the North pole of the magnet toward the puck face.
-
-
Electrical Connection:
-
Use the Raychem Spec 55 cable provided.
-
Connect each channel per the wiring diagram:

-
-
-
Programming the Angle:
-
Specify your desired range (30°–360° in 10° increments) when ordering.
-
Custom programming is performed in-house to guarantee precision.
-
