The technology used by Piher is only sensitive to the flux density coplanar with the IC surface. This allows to precise feedback the absolute position from 0 to 360 degrees. It enables the design of low-cost high performance non-contacting rotary position sensors without the limitations of potentiometric solutions. A configurable switch output is integrated within the sensor.
Full redundancy can be achieved by employing a dual core version or the simple placement of two sensors within the housing. The robust PSC360 is sealed and flange mounted for easy positioning when necessary. It provides high stability under harsh environmental conditions. Featuring a modular architecture, electrical & mechanical characteristics can be fully customised to customer’s needs as well as connector configurations.
