Position Sensor

These sensors respond to the presence or the
interruption of a magnetic field by producing
either adigital or an analog output proportional
to the magnetic field strength. Digital and
analog "sensor-only" devices are operated by the magnetic field from a permanent magnet or elect
romagnet. Actuation mode depends on the type of
magnets used. Integral magnet position sensorsare operated by either a vane passing through a gap
or a magnet mounted on a plastic plunger.

Best Used For:

Applications that require accurate, reliable outputs.Found in brushless DC motors, utility meters, weldingequipment,
vending machines, home appliances, computersand so on.
