Mechanical specifications
The robust PSC-360 is a cost effective high performance non-contacting rotary position sensor for automotive, off-road, marine,
medical and industrial applic ations without the limita tions of poten tiometric solutions (we ar, limited electrical angles...). A c onfigur able
switch output, as an option, integrated within the sensor is available too.
Redundancy can be achie ved by employing a dual die v ersion pro viding independent voltag e outputs with fully customiz ed char acteristics
providing the possibility to detect error outputs by the host electronics.
Sealed for harsh environments and flange mounted for easy positioning when necessary, it provides high stability under harsh
environment conditions such as vibration, shock, extreme temperatures / humidity, dither, moisture or dirt. Available with fly lea ds,
can be customized to customer´s needs to any desired connector configuration.
