Magnetic linear position sensors make use of the Hall effect to detect the position of actuator magnets. The sensors get used widely in automotive and industrial applications, including transmission gear position sensing and limit sensing on production lines. Littelfuse provides off-the-shelf and custom designed linear position sensors that operate in static and dynamic magnetic fields. Since the sensors perform noncontact measurements, they deliver accurate data to control units for up to 20 billion operations, and they do not wear down due to friction.
- Operate at voltages from 3.75 V to 24 V
- Supply current requirements range from 1.1 mA to 16 mA
- Linear sensing ranges up to 30 mm
- Operate at temperatures ranging from –40 ℃ to 105 ℃
- Available with programmable analog or digital outputs and with current or voltage outputs
- Wide range of sensitivities for detecting magnetic fields
- High switching speeds
- Options include integrate EMI/EMC protection, overvoltage protection, and built-in temperature compensation
- Automotive-grade cables and sealed connectors, making the sensors well-suited for use in commercial vehicles
