  • A15-3P 360º position sensor
    A15-3P 360º position sensor
    This device is aimed to applications that need on-field arbitrary initial and final travel reference points calibration. Once these have been set, the A15-3P provides accurate position feedback output to the controller.

    Designed to be a cost-effective replacement for absolute encoders, the A15-3P series offers an SMD, Vertical and Through Hole mount solution for the majority of Position/Angle Rotary Sensor and multi-purpose control applications such as garage door oppeners, gauges, rotary actuators and robotics.

  • Airbag enable-disable switch
    Airbag enable-disable switch
    Airbags have been designed to help protect adults in a moderate to severe frontal collision. To do this, the passenger’s front airbag is quite large, and it can inflate with enough force to cause very serious injuries. There are conditions where the automatic shut off feature will not completely insure safety (seat too far forward, small child in a car seat), there could be a need to manually disarm the passeger sode airbag.

    Even though the vehicle may include an advanced front airbag system that automatically turns the passenger’s front airbag off, all manufacturers offer a manual cutoff system for an additional measure of safety. These manual systems are typically activated or deactivated by turning them using the vehicle´s ignition key.

    This rotary switch seamlessly adapts to these systems and reliably actuates the transition between the “on” and “off” states.

  • DCM-PT15 detented potentiometer
    DCM-PT15 detented potentiometer
    The combination of the well-known PT15/PTC15/PS15 control potentiometers with a Detent Control Mechanism (DCM) affords the appliance designer the possibility to solder the potentiometer onto the Control PCB assembly and then, in a second operation, assemble the DCM over it. This removes the need to build Detents into the User front panel of the appliance, simplifying, and significantly reducing the total cost of the solution.

    The detent torque can be modified according to Customer requirements (depending on the input dial’s diameter, etc) as can the number and position of the detents.

  • Potentiometers with detents
    Potentiometers with detents
    This product family has been specifically developed to allow the integration of otherwise large and expensive external mechanisms into the body of the majority of the 6, 10 & 15 mm potentiometer series thus allowing a high range of configurations: special tapers, tolerances, linearity, cut track, etc.

    This detent design not only adds a "click" sensation of position, but also offers enormous savings in both cost and space for any given application.
    Strong and weak detents can be mixed as per cutomer´s request.


    - Replacement for:
    • Existing customer detent mechanisms.
    • Multi-pole switches.
    • 3 or 4-bit absolute encoders (connecting to microprocessor analogue input).
    - Analogue signal presets.
    - Temperature control settings.
    - Relay Timers.

    PT´s with detents also lend themselves perfectly to industrial and domestic power tool applications where the detents prevent accidental movement of the potentiometer under vibration.

    If high torque detents are required please see our Detent Control Mechanism (DCM) series datasheets. As previously highlighted, this family is indispensable wherever both cost and space saving reductions are important, or where a series of fixed positions along the potentiometer travel are required.

  • PS-15 & PSX-15 15mm SMD potentiometer / sensor
    PS-15 & PSX-15 15mm SMD potentiometer / sensor
    This sensor offers a new surface mountable solution for detecting changes in angle and position and converting them into a highly reliable voltage output. The sensor can be processed by standard automated placement equipment and reflow (or lead-free reflow) soldered. For applications where rotor angle is critical, locating pins are available.

    The PS15 Series is available with seven different rotor designs and 15 shaft styles. This offering allows Piher to configure a custom sensing solution for virtually any control or position feedback requirement. The result is a customized sensor that maximizes board density, reduces weight and eases assembly while achieving the engineer’s critical sensor design goals for the application.

    A wide range of options, including up to 38 detents, allows further customization. Detents not only add a crisp "click" sensation for each position without affecting the original sensor specification or performance, but also offer significant savings in both cost and space; and are particularly advantageous in industrial and domestic power tool applications to prevent accidental movement.

  • PS2P-ARC Touchless sensor
    PS2P-ARC Touchless sensor
    The touchless variable air gap sensor creates immunity to radial and axial play on mobile shafts where significant misalignment results in poor operational performance and labour intensive maintenance programmes. It complements our PS2P-LIN and PS2P-CON series of air-gap non-contact linear and angular position sensors.

    A round or arc magnet (where 360º rotation angle is unnecessary) is attached to rotating parts of kit, such as boom loaders, skid steer buckets and hitch arms, and the electronics module to the chassis (or vice versa).

    Here, Piher separates the magnet from the electronics module. As an absolute sensor it will not loose the values even after a power failure.

    All Piher sensors are compact, low-profile, yet extremely rugged and can be custom-engineered to fit existing mechanical assemblies.

  • ST-15 Endless rotation 15mm potentiometer/sensor
    ST-15 Endless rotation 15mm potentiometer/sensor
    The Model ST-15 offers engineers an endless rotation version of the popular PT-15 rotary potentiometer. This new 360º version adds endless clockwise (CW or CCW) rotation as a part of the current features of the PT-15s already highly configurable mechanical and electrical specifications. That means a wide variety of off-the-shelf mounting methods, custom ohmic (resistance) values, tight linearity performance, along with the 7 different rotor designs and 15 standard shaft styles.

    This potentiometer offers product designers the flexibility of allowing users full rotational access across the normal stops that have, up to now, limited mechanical rotation. With this design feature, engineers can now design product command features over a 340º range (active electrical travel). For maximum design versatility, the endless rotation feature can be combined upon request with detents to provide users tactile feedback on each setting and selection – with up to 51 unique detent positions. Virtually any appliance rotary feedback requirement can be configured using the PT-15s wide range of standard features. Other interesting optional features include flame-retardant plastics (meets UL Standard 94 V0), detents, rotors and shafts, long cycle life, SMT mounting and custom electrical angles.
