Piher International Corporation has announced the immediate availability of a shaft angle rotary sensor - the PST-360 Through-Hole Position Sensor. The PST-360 combines a through-shaft design with 360 degree absolute position feedback in an extremely thin package.
- Through-hole design allows sensor to fit over existing shaft and bearing assemblies
- Incorporates a proprietary ring magnet with a fully sealed Hall ASIC as sensor element
- Non-contacting and does not rely on gears or other interfacing parts
- Matches durability specifications of final application
- Features only one moving part along with programmable electronics designed for harsh environments
- Measures 9.8 mm thick with a body diameter of 37 mm and 50.0 mm mounting hole spacing
- Integrate directly into existing shafts
- Standard model features rotor with 14.05 mm inside diameter (double flatted) shaft design
- Custom rotor configurations are available
- Fully encapsulated electronics surround durable ring magnet, allowing for use in high humidity environments
- Has no sensitivity to dust or dirt and tolerates high vibration cycles as ring magnet never comes into contact with sensing electronics
- Offers electrical angles up to 360 degrees with no dead band and linearity error as low as ±0.5%
- For use at -40 C to 85 C, with optional models rated up to 150 C
- Able to be programmed with full scale output with angles as narrow as 20 degrees
- Supports most common electrical signal outputs with minimal investment
- Optional outputs include: Analog, PWM (12 bit) or Serial Protocol (SPI) at 14 bits and includes second output channel to provide programmable switch signal
- Redundant versions are available with duplex, triplex and quad redundant versions all within same package size
- Applications include off-highway, construction and agriculture equipment drive-by-wire
- Adaptable to fit marine outboard steering and throttle control, robotic controls, material handling, electronic braking systems, automation equipment
