Position, Proximity, Speed (Modules)
Magnetic sensors can be used for position, proximity, and speed sensing in a variety of industrial applications. These sensors use magnetic fields to detect the presence, position, or motion of an object, making them ideal for applications requiring contactless sensing.
Position sensors, such as linear or rotary sensors, are commonly used in machinery and automation systems to determine the precise position of moving parts. These sensors work by detecting changes in the magnetic field as an object passes by the sensor.
Proximity sensors use magnetic fields to detect the presence of an object without physical contact. This makes them ideal for safety systems and automation applications, where physical contact could be dangerous or damaging.
Speed sensors are used to measure the rotational speed of machines such as motors, turbines, and engines. They typically use magnets or magnetic encoders to detect the rotation of the machine shaft.
Industrial magnetic sensor modules are designed to simplify the integration of these sensors into larger systems. They typically include signal conditioning, amplification, and filtering circuitry to improve the accuracy and reliability of the sensor output. Some modules also include diagnostic features to help monitor the health of the sensor and detect any potential failures.
