HSS-L2S-814

Introduction

HSS-L2S-814 is a magnetic position, proximity, speed, and module sensor with a single-axis positioning range of 8mm to 14mm. It is a versatile and easy-to-use solution to monitor and detect the presence of a magnetic field in its vicinity. It is designed with a self-contained power supply, thereby eliminating the need for an external power source. This makes it an ideal solution for applications requiring precise position, proximity, and speed sensing. The sensor operates on a three-wire interface, making it a cost-effective solution compared to most other types of magnetic sensors.

Applications

HSS-L2S-814 is typically used in dependable industrial applications and provides accurate position, proximity, and speed measurements. It can be used to measure distances from an obstacle, determine the motion path of a moving object/surface, measure acceleration or deceleration of moving objects, and even to detect the departure of a moving object from a predefined path. Furthermore, it can be used in applications such as motoring, robotics, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, automotive, and medical industries, among others, where speed, position, and proximity detection are paramount.

Working Principle

HSS-L2S-814 operates on a simple three-wire interface. When an external power source is provided, the active low logic level at the output terminal of the sensor triggers the sensing element to detect the magnetic field in its vicinity. Once the magnetic field is detected, it sends an electrical impulse to the output terminal. This electrical impulse is then used to detect the position, proximity, and speed of the object in combination with the power source. The signal strength can be adjusted for different parameters such as gain, offset, and bandwidth. This ensures that the sensor is able to detect the slightest of changes in the magnetic field.

HSS-L2S-814 is capable of detecting the presence of a magnetic field within a range of 0.01mT up to 0.5mT. This makes it suitable for applications where precise measurements are required. The device has a very low power consumption, making it suitable for applications with limited power resources. Furthermore, the sensor has a wide operating temperature range, making it a reliable solution for applications in a variety of environments.

Conclusion

HSS-L2S-814 is a reliable and cost-effective solution for applications requiring precise position, proximity, and speed detection. The sensor offers a low power consumption rate and has a wide operating temperature range as well as an adjustable signal strength. It has a single-axis positioning range of 8mm to 14mm making it ideal for dependable industrial applications. Its simple three-wire interface also makes it easy to integrate into existing systems and provides a cost-effective solution compared to most other types of magnetic sensors.
