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.

Hall effect position sensors offer a solid-state, non-contact solution for detecting magnetic fields and converting them into electrical signals. These sensors provide reliable analog or digital outputs for measuring linear or angular position, proximity, and speed. With options for rotary and linear sensing, they support detection angles from 90° to 360°, and are available in various housing styles including threaded, flange mount, and custom designs. Their durability, low power consumption, and resistance to shock and vibration make them ideal for automotive, industrial, and medical applications.
Reed Relay Modules integrate multiple high-performance reed relays into compact, ready-to-use packages for efficient signal switching in space-constrained designs. Available in 8-channel configurations, these modules simplify circuit design by combining switching functionality with integrated driver electronics and advanced packaging.
The RM05-8A-SP Series features an 8-pole relay configuration housed in a dual-in-line through-hole package, equipped with MAX4823 integrated drivers and kickback protection—eliminating the need for external activation circuitry and reducing PCB footprint.
Magnetic Float NBR or Nitrile Butadiene Rubber floats have excellent resistance to petroleum-derived liquids such as oil and gasoline and can be used in high temperature applications as well. Magnetic Float PA or Polyamide floats are made of nylon, have a very high strength-to-weight ratio making them shock and abrasion resistant, enduring a pressure of 5 bar (73 PSI or 0.5 MPa). Magnetic Float PP (polypropylene) are rugged, highly resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids and have a water absorption of only 0.1%. V2A Floats are made of rust-proof stainless steel and are resistant to high temperatures making them ideal for the Food & Beverage industry among others.
Single point liquid level sensors are designed to detect fluid at a specific level, typically a critical high or low point. These sensors use a single magnetic float and reed switch to provide a simple, reliable signal when the fluid reaches the designated level.
Available in vertical or horizontal mounting styles, these sensors are ideal for compact installations and are commonly used in tanks, reservoirs, and molded containers. They operate with minimal power consumption and offer high durability, with options for high-temperature resistance, IP-rated sealing, and high-power switching.
Their customizable design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of integration make them a dependable solution for fluid level monitoring across a wide range of industries.
Optimized for high-speed signal transmission and minimal signal distortion, these relays feature low off-state capacitance, making them ideal for RF, telecom, and precision measurement applications.
High Power Magnetic Switching for Demanding Applications
The high-power reed switch series offers robust magnetic switching solutions capable of handling up to 120 W and voltages as high as 1,000 VDC. 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.
