Linear Magnetic Hall-effect sensors
A linear (magnetic) Hall-effect sensor uses the Hall effect (named after Edwin Hall). A magnetic Hall-effect sensor converts magnetically or magnetically encoded information into electrical signals. Magnetic Hall-effect sensors are very robust sensors that can be used to measure speed, position or distance, among other things. Electronics engineers often choose hall-effect sensors because of their non-contact wear-free operation and low-maintenance, rugged design. Hall-effect sensors are immune to vibration, dust and water.
