Overview
The Danaher PSP-2 Hall-Effect Position Sensor is a magnetic proximity sensor designed for industrial motion control and automation applications. This PNP-output sensor uses Hall-effect technology to detect magnetic field changes and provide reliable switching signals for position monitoring. The PSP-2 is widely used in linear motion systems, actuators, and automation machinery requiring accurate position detection without mechanical contact.
