Application Field and Working Principle of 59135-3-S-01-F

The magnetic sensor 59135-3-S-01-F (also known as a \'Switch-Ratio Sensor (SRS)\') belongs to the family of magnetic sensors that are used to measure position, proximity, and speed (modules).

Magnetic sensors are based on the principles of \'magnetic flux.\' Magnetic flux is defined as \'the total number of magnetic field lines of force that pass through a surface.\' Essentially, these sensors comprise of several parts, including a coil(s), magnet(s), and an electronic circuit. When an external magnetic field is detected, it induces a current in the coil, which is then detected by the electronic circuit. As the field strength increases or decreases, the coil\'s current increases or decreases accordingly, allowing for the measurement of the magnetic field\'s strength as well as its direction.

The 59135-3-S-01-F sensor supports an integrated magnetic reed switch, which allows for the direct and easy detection of the presence of a magnet without the added cost of having to purchase additional external reed switches. It also enhances the device\'s detection range when it is equipped with a mag-amp.

Furthermore, the device offers adjustable detection sensitivity and has been designed to run off of 5-Volt DC supply. Its maximum output current is 3 Amps, with a minimum operating current of 0.1 Amps, making it suitable for use in low power, smaller, and lightweight circuit designs.

The applications for the 59135-3-S-01-F magnetic sensor are wide in scope, ranging from position measuring in motors, linear actuators, and liquid flow meters, to proximety applications in door and window sensing, to speed sensing in motor controllers and remote control systems the sky is the limit. The device has been designed to meet the highest industrial standards, is precisely calibrated and offers precise linear response. It is therefore an ideal tool for industrial machinery, and a great solution for modern automation.
