Piher Sensing Systems MTS-360 Contactless Sensors

Piher Sensing Systems MTS-360 Contactless Sensors offer 360-degree absolute position feedback with an endless mechanical rotational angle. The MTS-360 contactless sensors feature a through-hole design that supports shaft insertion from both top and bottom and are ideal for tight spaces. These sensors are fully customizable, with programmable transfer functions, switch outputs, and various output protocols. MTS-360 contactless sensors operate within a temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and support a maximum current of 17mA. Typical applications include home and building automation, HVOR, industrial, and transportation.
