Amphenol Piher PSRC-2P: Touchless Sensing for Demanding Environments

Amphenol Piher PSRC-2P Angular Position Sensors offer touchless sensing for demanding industrial and vehicle environments. The rugged construction and advanced engineering of the sensors provide highly accurate angular measurements in harsh conditions. The magnet and sensor modules are housed separately allowing them to be placed anywhere along the pivoting shaft.

The PSRC-2P angular position sensors feature ±10V voltage protection and ±0.3% typical independent linearity in a compact low-profile package. These sensors include customizable electrical angles, multiple output options, and IP-rated protection against dust and moisture. The PSRC-2P angular position sensors are ideal for industrial automation, marine and medical devices, vehicle control systems, and home and building automation.

Features

  • True Touchless Operation: Without any internal or external gears or linkages the sensor is easily assembled and calibrated and free from wear and tear over lifetime.
  • Virtually Unlimited Mechanical Life: The separation of electronics and magnet module allows for a virtually unlimited lifetime independent of number of revolutions.
  • IP67 & IP69K Rated: Made for harsh environments with IP69K sealing, high operating temperature range as well as shock and vibration resistance allow the use in the most demanding environments.
  • Compact & Low-Profile Package: Without the need for a shaft the sensor is provided in an exceptionally compact and low-profile package that fits in space constraint applications.
  • Fully Customizable: Adaptable to your requirements with custom mechanical design, programmable transfer function and switch outputs as well as different output protocols and redundancy levels available.

    EtherCAT Reaches 88 Million Nodes – Strong Growth Despite Difficult Market Conditions

    EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) now reports around 88 million EtherCAT nodes worldwide and even if the pace of growth in recent years could not be maintained due to the current global economic climate and the after-effects of chip overstocking, the result is impressive: another 11 million EtherCAT nodes were added in 2024 – an outstanding result in a challenging business environment. These node figures are very reliable as they are based on actual chip sales, which are reported by the chip manufacturers to Beckhoff Automation, the inventor of EtherCAT technology. “And they have no interest in exaggerating these figures, as this would entail additional costs for them,” explains Martin Rostan, Executive Director of the EtherCAT Technology Group. With EtherCAT, the technology license is included directly in the chip, so there are no additional license fees for device manufacturers and users. Beckhoff uses the license revenue to finance the activities of the EtherCAT Technology Group and thus the ecosystem surrounding the technology.

    SmartD: The HVAC VFD Trade-off No One Talks About

    Reliability, power quality, and retrofit reality rarely coexist. Most HVAC plants are forced to compromise — unless they change the approach. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) don’t just save energy — they define uptime, maintenance, and plant stability. SmartD removes the tradeoff instead of managing its consequences. No academic deep dive. Just the physics that matter. Read More…
