Linear Position Sensor Non Contact. A Hall effect sensor (or simply Hall sensor) is a type of sensor which detects the presence and magnitude of a magnetic field using the Hall effectThe output voltage of a Hall sensor is directly proportional to the strength of the field It is named for the American physicist Edwin Hall Hall sensors are used for proximity sensing positioning speed detection and current sensing.
TE Connectivity‘s (TE) magnetic position sensors offer robust noncontact position measurements in harsh environments For example the unique features of the AMR effect allow the detection of tiny disturbances in the earth’s magnetic field created by cars in traffic detection sensors as well as the measurement of submicrometer displacements in precision linear.
