59251-1-S-03-A

Applied in various industries, the 59251-1-S-03-A magnetic sensor modules functions as a position,proximity, and speed sensor, designed for detecting surface features of ferrous materials. Working on the principles of Hall Effect, a physical phenomenon occurring when a conductive material, usually containing copper, is exposed to a magnetic field, the model indicates the properties of the material’s portion it’s placed close to and is then capable of providing exact position and speed information.

How Does It Work?

The 59251-1-S-03-A magnetic sensor module works its magic by measuring an electric current that’s generated when a magnetic material comes into contact with the sensor. This current varies between a negative voltage value (in the presence of magnet) and a positive voltage value (in the absence of a magnet). Because the electrical current is inversely proportional to the magnetic flux density, the module can easily identify the position and speed of the material accurately and quickly.

Applications

The 59251-1-S-03-A magnetic sensor modules are notably used in application areas such as automotive, aviation, industrial control and equipment, robotics, domestic appliances, medical electronics, home automation, and military and aerospace.
