PSC-360

Rotary End-of-Shaft Hall-Effect 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, industrial 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 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.





KEY FEATURES



Without any gears or mechanical interfaces the sensor is easily assembled and calibrated and subject to limited wear and tear over lifetime.
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
The magnet is securely fastened to the shaft and acts as only moving component in the sensor.
