Manufacturer of Angle, Position, Speed, Tilt and Current Sensors
Piher Sensing Systems’ PS2P-CON compact rotary position sensor delivers true touchless absolute angle sensing for harsh industrial and vehicle environments in a low profile and robust magnetic two-piece design.
Magnet and sensor module are placed in separate housings without the need for any gears, bearings or linkages and can be placed anywhere on the pivoting shaft (e.g. in steering angle). This allows for easy mounting, thereby delivering additional cost reduction on the production line. Furthermore,
The PS2P-CON is a touchless two-part rotary position sensor utilizing Hall-effect technology to eliminate mechanical wear and ensure an unlimited service life. It features a programmable angular range up to 360 degrees with available outputs including Analog, PWM, CAN, and SPI. The device is rated for IP67/IP69K protection, maintaining a resolution up to 14 bits in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C. Its two-piece design separates the magnet from the electronics, allowing for flexible mounting without the need for gears or linkages.
This sensor is designed for high-performance use in the automotive, marine, agricultural, and industrial sectors. Common applications include monitoring harvester axles, gear shift positions, and steering angles in race cars or marine vessels. It is also integrated into automated pallet shuttles, heavy-duty lifting systems, telehandlers / forklifts and medical devices.
To support safety-critical systems, the sensor is available in two output redundant and full-redundant versions.
The PS2P angular sensor series is complemented by magnetic linear displacement sensors (PS2P-LIN) and play-resistant arc position sensors (PS2P-ARC). All sensors of the series are absolute sensors and will deliver the same level of precision and stability throughout their lifetime as on the first day they are installed.
