Sensor VN1015
Employs a Hall Effect digital vane sensor and a permanent magnet in two small towers, separated by a 3.4 mm (0.135”) air gap. The output switches when a ferrous target passes between the towers. Typical targets are linear or rotary vanes using a square saw tooth or an open slot in a solid disk or band.
Features
- Mechanically interchangeable with typical slotted optical switches
- Robust, high-speed sensing in dirty/dusty environments
- No mechanical contacts to wear out
- Open collector (sinking or NPN) output can be used with bipolar or CMOS logic circuits with a suitable pull-up resistor
- RoHS compliant
Applications
- Door/gate position control
- Exercise equipment
- Printers
