ROTARY HALL SENSOR

 

    

The output of a rotary hall sensor is a voltage which changes in direct proportion to the shaft angle.  A constant voltage is required across the supply and ground wires of the sensor.  No internal end stops are fitted, so continuous rotation is possible.  The sensor consists of a Hall Effect element, a shaft and a magnet.  When the angular position of the sensor changes relative to the magnet, the change In magnetic field in the sensor results in a change in output voltage.  Various measurement angles are available, up to a maximum of 120°.

* Sensor output is ratiometric to supply voltage.  To limit permanent damage to the sensor, the supply voltage should not exceed 8.5V

 

** With respect to half voltage position indicated on outline drawing

 

*** Angular end position voltages programmable on request

 

Viewed from the end of the shaft, clockwise rotation decreases the output voltage.  Anticlockwise rotation with decreasing output voltage available on request.

Design and manufacture is in-house, so if our existing designs do not suit your application, we can provide cost effective customised parts to suit even the most demanding application.  No engineering charges are made for simple modifications such as customer specific connectors, cable protection and cable lengths.  Please contact our technical consultancy service who will be pleased to help.

 

Environmental

 

·      Vibration 50Hz to 2500Hz @ 40g 8hrs per axis

·      Resistant to standard motorsport fluids

·      Maximum humidity 100%

·      Viton jacketed cable

·      Operating temperature -40 to +170°C

 

The sensor may be permanently damaged if the shaft is exposed to strong magnetic fields.  During operation, the sensor should be kept clear of stray magnetic fields and ferro-magnetic materials.
