PST-360

Hall-Effect Through-Shaft Rotary Position Sensor

The PST-360 position sensor combines a through-shaft design with accurate absolute position feedback and a true non-contacting sensing element that does not rely on gears or other rotating parts.
This innovative and unique patented design complements the attributes of the target application and maintains the mechanical integrity of the application by design. As the sensor is mounted directly at the pivot point no levers, connecting rods or other mechanical interfaces are needed.
Furthermore it adapts to shaft’s eccentricity, mounting tolerances and mechanical wear over the life of the application (for instante SAS Steering Angle Sensor).
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.
Multi-turn configurations are available on request.





KEY FEATURES



Without any gears or mechanical interfaces the sensor is easily assembled and calibrated and subject to limited wear and tear over lifetime.
Allows shaft insertion from top or bottom, simple assembly and makes it even more suitable in applications where space is limited.
Endless mechanical rotational angle without dead band, keeps the position on power loss with programmable electrical angles from 15 to 360 degrees.
The rugged package protects the sensor from dust, moisture, vibration and extreme temperatures for usage in the most demanding environments.
The non-contacting design allows for an extra-long product lifetime of up to 50 million cycles.
Programmable transfer function and switch outputs as well as different output protocols and redundancy levels available
