PSC-360 Series Contactless Sensors

Piher's robust PSC-360 are cost-effective, high performance, non-contacting, rotary position sensors that are ideal for automotive, off-road, marine, medical, and industrial applications without the limitations of potentiometric solutions such as wear and limited electrical angles. A configurable switch output integrated within the sensor is also available. Redundancy is achieved by employing a dual-die version providing independent voltage outputs with fully customized characteristics that detect error outputs by the host electronics.

The PSC-360 series is sealed to provide high stability under harsh environments conditions including vibration, shock, extreme temperatures and humidity, dither, moisture, and dirt. They are flange-mounted for easy positioning. These sensors are available with fly-leads and are customized to the user's needs for any desired connector configuration.
