PSC-360
Rotary Non-contact Position Sensor
The robust PSC-360 is a cost-effective non-contacting rotary position sensor that provides high performance in harsh environments such as transportation, HVOR, industrial, material-handling, marine, pedal, steering, throttle, Powertrain and medical applications. This compact sensor of Piher Sensing Systems is truly non-contacting with a permanent magnet that is securely fastened to the shaft and acts as the only moving component in the sensor.
Redundant dual-output versions provide independent voltage outputs with fully customizable characteristics. Full redundancy with two separate supplies and grounds is possible too.
Additionally, a switch output can optionally be configured. The endless-rotation sensor is highly configurable with a programmable angular range between 15 and 360 degrees, different signal output options and support for low and high-voltage power supply.
Sealed, flange mounted for easy positioning and with fly leads, it can be customized to fit any desired connector configuration.
