Product Overview
The Piher PSC-360 is a cost-effective, non-contacting Hall-Effect rotary position sensor designed for high-performance applications in harsh environments. It offers 360-degree absolute position feedback with an endless mechanical rotational angle and no dead band, retaining position on power loss. The sensor is highly adaptable, featuring programmable electrical angles, transfer functions, switch outputs, and various output protocols and redundancy levels. Its true contactless operation, with no gears or mechanical interfaces, ensures limited wear and tear and easy assembly. Ideal for industrial, transportation, marine, and home/building automation sectors, the PSC-360 is durable, robust, and fully customizable to meet specific requirements.
