Standex Detect - Gear Detection Speed Sensors
Gear detection speed sensors are dynamic, non-contact devices designed to monitor the speed, position, and direction of rotating ferrous components such as gears, shafts, and bolts. Utilizing solid-state Hall effect technology, these sensors offer near-zero speed detection, high repeatability, and long-term durability in harsh environments. With self-calibrating outputs and compatibility across various gear pitches and target shapes, they are ideal for automotive, industrial, and agricultural applications. Available in multiple housing styles and connection types, these sensors provide flexible integration for speed measurement, RPM monitoring, and component counting.
More Product Information
High density matrix reed relays are designed for ultra-compact, high-channel-count applications where space efficiency and performance are critical. With footprints as small as 4.35 × 4.35 mm, these relays enable dense relay arrays, up to 1000 relays on a 12” board, ideal for IC wafer testing, functional PCB test systems, and data acquisition platforms. Featuring low power consumption, fast switching speeds, and optional shielding configurations, they offer reliable performance in demanding environments. Their modular design supports vertical and horizontal stacking, making them a versatile solution for high-density signal routing and matrix switching.
Reed position sensors offer a versatile and contactless solution for detecting movement and position using magnetic fields. Built around a reed switch mechanism, these sensors operate by opening or closing in response to a nearby magnet, enabling precise and repeatable switching. Available in a wide range of sizes, mounting styles, and electrical configurations, they are ideal for applications in industrial automation, medical devices, fluid level monitoring, and consumer electronics. Their solid-state design ensures long operational life, resistance to shock and vibration, and compatibility with low-voltage systems.
Multipoint sensors are designed to detect fluid levels at specific, predefined points. Using multiple reed switches and floats on a single stem, these sensors can monitor up to 9 distinct levels. Ideal for applications requiring discrete level detection, such as tanks with layered liquids of varying densities, these sensors offer reliable switching, even under extreme temperatures and pressures. The LS04 and LS05 series exemplify this adaptability, supporting multiple floats and custom configurations for versatile fluid monitoring.
High Power Magnetic Switching for Demanding Applications

Designed for demanding applications, these reed switches are available in various sizes starting from 14 mm, including surface mount and through-hole options for flexible integration.
These switches are ideal for proximity, position, motion, and end-limit sensing, and can also be packaged into high power reed relays for enhanced durability and simplified PCB mounting. Relay packaging supports both pick-and-place automation and high insulation resistance, with some models exceeding 10¹³ Ohms.
Popular series such as KT, SHV, LI, and BE offer a range of contact configurations, including SPST, SPDT, and multi-switch designs. Whether used in automotive systems or test and measurement equipment, these high-power reed switches deliver reliable performance where high voltage and current demands are critical.
Custom solutions are also available to meet specific design requirements.
Reed liquid level sensors use magnetic floats and reed switch technology to detect fluid levels. As the float moves with the liquid, it activates reed switches housed within a stem, providing a reliable on/off signal or triggering multiple level points. These sensors are highly energy-efficient, drawing no power until activated, making them ideal for battery-powered or low-energy applications.
They are available in vertical or horizontal mount configurations and can be customized for various fluid types, temperatures, and pressures. With options for stainless steel or plastic housings, reed sensors offer a simple, cost-effective solution for fluid level monitoring in automotive, industrial, HVAC, and appliance systems.
