Enabling the Electronics Revolution PSC-360 Hall-Effect End-of-Shaft Rotary Position Sensor DESCRIPTION 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. Additionally a switch output optionally be configured. The endless rotation sensor is highly configurable with a programmable angular range between 15 and KEY FEATURES 360 degrees, different signal output options and support for low and high-voltage power supply. True, contactless operation Sealed, flange mounted for easy positioning and Without any gears or mechanical with fly leads, it can be customized to fit any desired interfaces the sensor is easily assembled connector configuration. and calibrated and subject to limited N o n- co nta cting wear and tear over lifetime. APPLICATIONS 360 degree absolute position feedback Industrial 360 Endless mechanical rotational angle Autonomous warehouse robotics without dead band, keeps the position on E ndle ss power loss with programmable electrical Robotics and automation feedback R o ta tio n angles from 15 to 360 degrees. Robot arm position Valve monitoring Made for harsh environments Conveyor operation The rugged package protects the sensor from dust, moisture, vibration and Transportation extreme temperatures for usage in the Steering wheel angle most demanding environments.
