Technotion has developed a second-generation Hall sensor, building on the success of its original design released in 2004.

Technotion has developed a second-generation Hall sensor, building on the success of its original design released in 2004.

The Hall sensor is the ideal alternative in positioning processes where cost-effective and accurate linear motor movements are required.

The Hall sensor enables the user to replace optical or magnetic encoders by simply mounting the reading head on the coil unit surface.

The second generation Hall sensor has a maximum accuracy of 100um with a repeatable accuracy brought up to a level of around 30um and a resolution down to 5um.

The robustly built second generation Hall sensor uses the magnet track as the linear scale and can easily be mounted on Tecnotion's widely used TM, TL, TB and TG iron core motors.
