Rugged contactless magnetic angular position sensor
360° | PSC360U
Piher Sensors & Controls
The non-contacting PSC-360U programmable Hall effect magnetic sensor featuring a switch function not found in other 360º absolute position sensors. The unique switch design incorporates both on and off positions that provides secondary position verification for improved safety, especially important for mission-critical applications in harsh environments.
The PSC-360U Sensor also offers high temperature capabilities with operational performance between -40ºC to +150ºC and high accuracy over 360º at 0.5%. Offered in two packaging designs for maximum flexibility, the
PSC-360U is available in a bushing/panel mount style or adjustable TPS style with two slotted holes. Both styles feature very low profile packaging with a height of only 13 mm, extremely advantageous for applications with tight packaging constraints.
Traditionally, magnetic sensor performance has been challenged by components' tolerances and thermal and magnetic fluctuations that required complex designs and space-consuming circuitry to solve fluctuations in output signals.
Designed with the permanent magnet as the only moving component, the PSC-360U sensor provides a virtually endless mechanical life. Further durability is provided with the magnet being fully sealed and the sensors' electronics (sensing system) encapsulated in molded plastic, providing a completely sealed IP67 rated sensor that is totally impervious to humidity. These features are ideally suited to harsh environmental exposure where shock, vibration, high humidity and dust are unavoidable.
