The iPSU (inductive Position Sensor Unit) is a compact sensor dedicated to high speed sensing. The electric motor position sensor is a technical solution to acquire the geometrical position and orientation of the electric motor shaft. This product has to cover the complete operation range of the electric motor.
It provides accurate position in order to drive the electric motor with the best efficiency and robustness. The temperature measurement can be added as an option. It has a flexible design (fixing points, outer and inner diameter): “end of shaft” or “through shaft” as option.
