FAQs
ISO 26262 compliance is achieved at the system level. Piher offers sensors — including inductive rotor position platforms designed for ASIL-D on the sensor level — that enable system integrators to reach their ASIL targets with appropriate diagnostics and architectures
They are different scales in different standards. Automotive uses ASIL A–D; off-highway uses AgPL a–e; industrial machinery uses PL a–e. Your required level is set by the risk assessment for each safety function (HARA for ISO 26262; PLr/AgPLr for ISO 13849/25119)
Yes. Several platforms offer redundant outputs, and products like TSDA are rated IP69K, while SSH-G01 speed sensors are IP67 sealed for transmissions and similar environments.
ASIL is achieved at the system level. Piher supplies sensors (notably our inductive e-motor rotor position platforms) that are designed so development according to ISO 26262 up to ASIL-D on the sensor level is possible. Integrators meet ASIL by architecture, diagnostics and validation.
Yes—our non-contact position, tilt and speed families are built for harsh mobile/industrial duty with IP67/IP69K options and CAN interfaces. These form solid building blocks for AgPL/PL targets; final compliance rests with the system
Automotive customers typically target ASIL B–D. Our inductive e-motor rotor sensors are ASIL-D-capable (sensor-level development) and are stray-field immune, ideal near inverters.
PSCI / PSTI inductive e-motor rotor sensors (true power-on, stray-field immune) and our Hall rotary/linear families (e.g., PSC-360, PS2P-LIN) with redundancy options. We can also support transmission speed/position sensing.
TSDA dual-axis tilt (IMU-based) for platform/boom leveling and Hall/inductive position sensors for pedals, hitches and steering, with IP69K variants and J1939 support.
Non-contact rotary/linear sensors plus gear-tooth speed for AGVs, conveyors, valves, etc. Our SSH-G01 speed sensor lists IP67/IP69K (ISO 20653) sealing and relevant EMC references
Share: target standard (ISO 26262/25119/13849), safety goal/target level (ASIL/AgPL/PL), environment (IP/temperature/EMC), mechanics (stroke/angle, mounting), interface (Analog/PWM/SPI/CAN), redundancy and supply details. We’ll suggest the best Piher platform and variant
Yes—engage us early. We’ll map sensor options (redundancy, interfaces, mounting) to your safety concept and point you to datasheets/app notes and contacts
