Working Principle
The 3030AN25 is a Hall-effect based linear position sensor. It is composed mainly of two components; the first is the actual Hall-effect sensor that utilizes the Hall effect and the second is the permanent magnet, usually an elongated element of neodymium magnet which runs in the linear track. When the permanent magnet passes over the Hall-effect device, it produces a voltage signal which is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field which passes over the Hall-effect element. The strength of this magnetic field depends on the distance of the magnet from the Hall-effect element, so the voltage signal produced is proportional to the distance of the magnet from the element. The signal is used to calculate the position of the magnet and hence the position of the linear track. The sensor also comes with an analog voltage output that can be used to control the speed of a device such as a conveyor. It also has a SELF test feature that can be used to detect possible hardware issues.
