Technology
Hall sensors – non-contact and wear-free detection – Technology

Hall sensors identify ferromagnetic objects by the non-contact sensing principle. Achieving very high switching frequencies, they are ideal to reliably detect speed and rapidly changing rotational directions at moving gears.
