About Hall Effect Position Sensors

Hall effect position sensors are non-contact devices that convert energy from a magnetic field into an electrical signal. They use the Hall effect, a voltage caused by current-flow in the presence of a magnetic field. Hall effect position sensors function via an electrical potential (the Hall voltage) that is developed between the two edges of a current-carrying conductor whose faces are perpendicular to an applied current flow. The presence of a magnetic field is also required, as the Hall element is the most basic magnetic field sensor.

Products & Services Related to Hall Effect Position Sensors

Hall Effect Proximity Sensors

Hall effect proximity sensors are used to detect the proximity, presence or absence of a magnetic object using a critical distance.

Inductive Linear Position Sensors and Switches

Inductive linear position sensors and switches are noncontact devices that determine an object's coordinates (linear or angular) with respect to a reference.

Inductive Proximity Sensors

Inductive proximity sensors detect the presence or absence of an object using a critical distance.

Magnetic Proximity Sensors

Magnetic proximity sensors include devices that work on inductive, variable reluctance, magneto resistive or Hall effect principles. Proximity sensors detect the presence or absence of an object using a critical distance.

Magnetic Speed Sensors

Magnetic speed sensors rely on a magnet as the sensing element or sensed target to capture rotational or linear speed. They are typically used as gear tooth speed sensors or incorporated into stroboscopes or tachometers.

Magnetoresistive Linear Position Sensors and Switches

Magnetoresistive linear position sensors and switches have a linear resistance output signal representing the distance an object is from a reference point.

Variable Resistance Linear Position Sensors and Switches

Variable reluctance linear position sensors and switches are noncontact devices that use variable reluctance based technology, and whose output signal represents the distance between an object and a reference point.
