Magnetic Sensors - Position, Proximity, Speed (Modules)

The term "magnetic sensor" is used to describe a range of devices that detect and measure external magnetic fields. This type of sensor is widely used in industrial, medical, automotive, and consumer applications, to measure a variety of parameters such as position, proximity, speed, and force. One type of magnetic sensor specifically designed for these applications is the 5510-3L-04-A.

Application Field

The 5510-3L-04-A is mostly used in automotive and industrial applications. It is designed to detect and measure the position of the steering wheel, the rotation speed of the engine, and the opening of doors, windows, and hatches. It is also used to measure the speed of motors, fans, and other rotating objects.

Working Principle

The 5510-3L-04-A works by measuring the strength of a magnetic field created by an attached magnet. It can accurately detect magnetic field variations from a few milli-gauss up to several hundred. The 5510-3L-04-A uses Hall Effect technology to detect and convert changes in magnetic field strength into a digital signal output. This digital signal can then be used to calculate the objects’ speed, direction and/or position.

The 5510-3L-04-A is a versatile magnetic sensor that can be used in a wide range of applications. It is easy to install and provides a stable and accurate signal performance over a wide temperature range. It is also highly sensitive and can detect even the slightest changes in magnetic field strength.
