Versions are available that can provide
quadrature (bi-directional) or single direction output.
Both Hall Effect and Magneto-Resistive sensors are true
zero-speed sensors. Magneto-Resistive sensors, because
of their higher sensitivity, are better suited for
sensing ferrous metal targets at substantially longer
distances; up to .250" or greater. The tradeoff is that
they are more susceptible to producing false pulses from
inductive fields. This might make them unsuitable for
applications where they will be in close proximity to
large motors or generators, etc. These sensors are built
on a custom basis to satisfy specific application
requirements.

Intrinsically
Safe Magneto-Resistive Sensors - Intrinsically Safe sensors are
certified for use in both North America (CSA with
NRTL/C) and Europe (ATEX). Our certification allows us
to make Intrinsically Safe versions of almost any MSI
sensor or to customize a sensor to suit your
application.
