MSS-89STG Application Field and Working Principle

The MSS-89STG is a high-performance magnetic sensor module from Honeywell. It is in the category of magnetic sensors - position, proximity, speed (modules). It is made with many features that allow it to be used in a variety of applications.

The MSS-89STG is a miniaturized high-performance digital Hall-effect position sensor module. It is designed to detect the position of a rotating magnetic field produced by a permanent magnet. It is especially suited for applications where a rotating element is in close proximity to the sensor.

The MSS-89STG has a wide range of features that make it suitable for many applications. It offers operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and a high level of magnetic field immunity (up to 50 Gauss). It also has a high resolution (up to 0.05°), fast response time ( typically 20μs) and a low power consumption of just 1.8mA under normal conditions. Additionally, the device is RoHS compliant and designed for simple integration into most systems.

The working principle behind the MSS-89STG module is based on the Hall effect and is similar to a speed or proximity sensor. The module works as follows:

• When a magnetic field is applied, a current is induced in the magnetic-sensing element, creating a voltage differential across the Hall sensing element.
• The voltage differential is then amplified and conditioned for further processing.
• The amplified, conditioned voltage is then sent to the output port, where it is used to determine the position of the system.

The signal output is a digital square wave with a duty cycle that depends on the system\'s position relative to the magnetic field. This output is typically synchronized to the rotation of the system. With the wide range of features and output types, the MSS-89STG module is ideal for use in a variety of applications including motion control, motor speed monitoring, and many other robotic applications.

In summary, the MSS-89STG is a magnetic sensor module in the magnetic sensors - position, proximity, speed (modules) category from Honeywell. It offers a range of features that make it suitable for use in many applications involving the detection of a rotating magnetic field. Its working principle is based on the Hall effect and an amplified, conditioned voltage is sent to the output port for further processing. With its features and output type, the MSS-89STG module is a perfect choice for motion control, motor speed monitoring, and many other robotic applications.
