Hall-effect Position Sensors now available with CAN Interface
Our contactless Hall-effect position sensors are now also available with CAN SAE J1939 or CANopen output. In addition to analog, PWM and SPI outputs, the CAN interface is now a configurable option for the non-contact PST-360 and PSC-360 rotary position sensors, the touchless rotary sensor PS2P-CON, the linear position sensor PS2P-LIN and the Play Resistant Arc Position Sensor PS2P-ARC.

Piher Sensing Systems announces the introduction of an off-the-shelf version of the Play Resistant Arc Position Sensor. Until recently, this two-piece sensor has only been available in custom developments. Now two standard sizes with 23mm and 31mm inner radius are available with configurable output, support for high and low voltage supply and up to 110° […]
