Back to the Future: Physical Controls Vs. Touchscreens

Back to the Future: Knob buttons Vs. Touchscreens Update March, 2025:Starting January 2026, car manufacturers will need to include physical buttons for important functions if they want to achieve a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Euro NCAP is changing its rules to favor tactile controls over touchscreens, helping drivers keep their eyes on the road […]

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.

Application Note: Touchless Measurement of Tractor Rear Hitch Position

To accurately regulate hitch movement and ensure that implements are properly aligned a position sensor is measuring the hitch movement. Play Resistant Arc Position Sensors solve several pain points of shafted sensors linked mechanically to the hitch and therefore provide a superior solution.

Play Resistant Arc Position Sensors available off-the-shelf

High accuracy and resolution with absolute angle sensing across a 110° range. Piher Sensing Systems offers 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 […]
