PS2P-LIN, linear touchless position sensor.
The PS2P-LIN linear sensors create immunity to magnet´s misalignment that negatively impacts operational performance and results in labour intensive maintenance programmes. It complements our PS2P-CON and PS2P-ARC series of air-gap non-contact angular rotary position sensors.
A magnet is attached to moving parts of kit, such hydraulic/pneumatic controls & gear selector, and the electronics module to the chassis (or viceversa).
As absolute sensors, they will not loose the values even after a power failure.
All Piher touchless sensors are compact, sealed, low-profile, yet extremely rugged and can be custom-engineered to fit customers´ specifications and existing mechanical assemblies.
