Hall effect-based position and angle sensors are essential components of modern measurement technology that convert magnetic fields into electrical signals. These sensors use the Hall effect, in which a voltage builds up in a current-carrying conductor at right angles to the direction of the current under the influence of a magnetic field. This enables precise and non-contact measurements of position and angle.
Such sensors are used in mobile applications, for example to detect the position of gas pedals, steering wheels or gearbox shifters. They also play a key role in industrial applications, such as motor controls or robotics. Their robustness against wear, dust, dirt and extreme temperatures makes them particularly durable and reliable.
In addition to their high accuracy and miniaturizability, their digital output signals enable simple integration into electronic systems. Overall, Hall effect sensors offer an efficient and versatile solution for the precise detection of position and angle in a wide variety of areas.
