Piher sensing systems - custom potentiometers and position sensors

The modern aerospace industry, as well as the automotive sector, require highly-complex products with an extremely high proportion of electronic components and maximum safety requirements. This requires correspondingly complex development and production processes as well as sophisticated interdisciplinary expertise. Piher´s contact-less technology is based on robust, state-of-the-art and proven hall-effect technology that can withstand extreme environments.

Our rugged PST, MTS and PSC series can provide reliable feedback for a number of aerospace applications, such as:

• Valve position.
• Landing gear position.
• Pilot input controls.
• Lever position.
• Actuator position.
• Nozzle position.
• Door position.
• Rudder position.
• Aileron position.
• Servo tab position.
• Flap / slat / stabilize, position.
• Elevator position.
• Wheel position.
• Throttle position.
• Fuel valve position.
• Pedal position.
• Drive by wire systems.
• UHF Radio controls.
• Fighter lighting controls.
• Landing gear steering sensor.
• HUD aircraft control (brightness, intensity, manual reticle position, contrast).Electromechanical switches.
  
• Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) camera gimbal and cradle angle of attack angle and position miniature sensors.
• eVTOL cabin seats, liners, and window position sensors.
  

With millions of position sensors sold every year, we have the required experience to quickly adapt our sensors to the customer´s application or design a new custom sensor from scratch in a timely manner.
