Hall-effect sensors expand sensing options
Hamlin has moved beyond its traditional portfolio of reed-switch sensors with the addition of a range of Hall-effect sensors from Micronas.
Hall effect sensor technology offers unique design benefits.
In applications where high speed switching is required, speeds of up to 10kHz can be reached.
The component package is small compared with other sensing technologies and the sensors can be specified with either a digital switching or analogue output.
Hamlin has introduced a new sensor part numbering system which makes it easy to specify switching sensitivity, cable length and connector type when ordering.
The Hall effect range from Hamlin includes two sizes of vane and flange sensors and a gear-tooth sensor.
They will complement the company's extensive reed sensor product base to enable it to provide more options for a wider range of sensing applications.
Hamlin's new sensors can be installed in the harshest environments where the none-contact sensing element will provide an almost infinite number of operations.
The range is particularly durable, being shock resistant to 150g at 11ms, half-sinewave, and vibration resistant to 50g at 50-2000Hz.
The sensors also incorporate reverse and overload protection and built in temperature compensation.
Simon Pitkin, from Hamlin's global marketing department, said: "We are well known for designing and manufacturing highly reliable reed switch sensor solutions.
We have used this expertise, and our new agreement with Micronas, to increase our range of standard products and our ability to develop custom sensor solutions so we can offer our customers more choice".
