Magnetic field strength position sensors use analog Hall effect technology to measure the intensity and polarity of magnetic fields with high accuracy. These sensors provide a voltage output proportional to the magnetic field strength, making them ideal for applications such as proximity detection, current sensing, and residual magnetism measurement. Available in fixed-gain and programmable models, they support a wide range of sensitivities and response times. With options for ratiometric output and internal voltage regulation, these sensors offer flexible integration into industrial, automotive, and electronic systems.

Intrinsically safe reed relays and optocouplers are engineered for use in hazardous environments where ignition prevention is critical. Certified to ATEX standards and tested to ensure they do not become ignition sources, even in the presence of short circuits or adjacent component failures—these components are ideal for applications in explosive atmospheres such as mining, chemical processing, refineries, and power stations.

Designed to meet EN50020 safety standards, these relays and optocouplers feature tightly controlled air and creepage paths, high dielectric strength, and low-voltage coil inputs. With a maximum peak voltage of 375 V across input and output, and isolation distances up to 10 mm, they ensure safe operation under overload conditions. The Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) of the plastics used exceeds 175, and internal potting compounds provide additional insulation for long-term reliability.

Key switch position sensors play a critical role in ensuring secure On/Off control for industrial and robotic systems. Unlike traditional mechanical switches that often fail in harsh environments, such as those with high humidity, chemical exposure, or dust. Our Reed Technology key switches deliver a robust, noncontact solution.

Engineered for exceptional durability and reliability, these sensors minimize costly downtime and maintenance. Backed by decades of magnetic sensing expertise, this innovative design guarantees long-lasting performance in the most demanding conditions.

Metal detection position sensors are designed to detect the presence or movement of ferrous materials such as steel bolts, gears, or plates. Available in reed switch or Hall effect configurations, these sensors offer flexible solutions for proximity and position sensing. Reed-based sensors provide simple, low-power operation, while Hall effect versions offer dynamic, solid-state performance with zero-speed detection and enhanced durability. Ideal for industrial automation, safety systems, and heavy equipment, these sensors are available in various mounting styles and electrical outputs to suit diverse application needs.
