Introduction

Standex Electronics harnesses the potential of reed switches and Hall effect technologies to create advanced agricultural sensor solutions. These sensors are integral in monitoring a range of conditions, from fluid levels to motion, ensuring that machinery operates efficiently and safely. Our expertise in custom switching and sensing solutions is highly sought after for smarter, more reliable, and efficient harvesting. 

Custom and standard reed and Hall agricultural sensor solutions

The activation of a reed switch by a magnetic field is a critical function that can signal system adjustments or alert operators, contributing to the enhanced performance, reliability, and efficiency of agricultural equipment. And given their inherent low power and long operating life, reed switch sensors are an ideal choice for supporting sustainable farming practices.

Now, let’s explore some common sensor applications for agricultural equipment.

Agricultural Sensor Applications

Smart Hall and reed sensors are transforming todays’ agricultural equipment. By providing precise measurements and control for various applications. They are essential for optimizing the flow rate of fertilizer spreaders to ensuring efficient irrigation and fertigation. Other critical sensing needs are monitoring the speed and direction of machinery. These technologies contribute to smarter, more sustainable farming practices by enabling better resource management and reducing waste.

These versatile and reliable components can be employed in a wide variety of agricultural applications.

Sensor Application Examples

  • Tractors
  • Hay balers
  • Combines
  • Tractors
  • ECU sprayer
  • ECU hoe
  • Other heavy machinery
 
  • Flow rate sensor for measuring fertilizer spreaders behind tractors.
  • Flow meter sensors for irrigation and fertigation.
  • Speed sensor for shaft and gear overspeed and under-speed conditions.
  • Measuring shaft rotational speed and direction
  • Smart sensors for controlling relay status based on speed and direction of motion.
  • Rotational or angle position sensor that monitors shafts and gears
  • Speed and direction sensor for winch shaft measurement.
  • Position sensors for measuring the height of a saw blade in the timber industry.
  • Measuring reel speed and direction
  • Conveyor belt speed and position sensor
  • Shaft run-out detection determining fan shut down (motor stall)
  • Fuel level indicator ensuring efficient monitoring and management.
  • Gear tooth sensor to detect faulty wheel movement and safety brake engagement.
  • Power steering position sensor
  • Proximity sensor for on-board lighting systems and consoles
  • Safety switches to detect and signal hazardous conditions or faulty equipment.
  • Gate and door position sensors
  • Sensing and controlling the ignition process
