PSC-360: Contactless Position Sensor
The PSC-360 is a vertical hall-effect magnetic sensor that is designed to overcome the limitations of potentiometer-based devices in a wide range of applications. The performance of magnetic sensors has traditionally been limited by their poor tolerance to thermal and magnetic fluctuations. And although these limitations can be overcome by careful circuit design, the complexity this has entailed has often discouraged OEMs from designing with these sensors.
The 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.
