Overview
The Danaher PSP-2 Hall-Effect magnetic position sensor is a solid-state switching device designed for reliable position detection in pneumatic and linear motion applications. Unlike mechanical reed switches, this Hall-Effect sensor uses magnetism to detect the presence and position of permanent magnets mounted on cylinder rods or moving actuators. The PSP-2 is built for industrial environments where durability, repeatability, and fast response times are essential.
