Hall Effect speed switch and proximity sensors are pivotal components in modern industrial automation applications. Hence, detecting over, under, and zero speed conditions are a Hall speed sensor hallmark. These devices leverage the Hall Effect principle to provide contactless proximity and speed measurement. They do so by detecting ferrous metal gears or other ferrous targets. Thus, the non-contact nature of these magnetic sensors minimizes wear and tear, leading to lower maintenance costs and longer service life. Overall, Hall Effect speed sensors provide a sophisticated method for monitoring and controlling mechanical systems, contributing to the advancement of automation and control technologies.
Using a transistor or relay output, speed switches turn on and off depending on the factory programmed frequency. For example: a 30 Hz switch point will activate the output at any speed where 30 or more magnets pass the sensor within one second. Hall Effect speed switch and speed sensors use a single digital square wave output for resolving actual speed. So, they can be easily integrated into control systems to trigger alarms, shutdown procedures, or other necessary actions based on the detected conditions.
