Standex Detect - Metal Detection Position Sensors
Metal detection position sensors are designed to detect the presence or movement of ferrous materials such as steel bolts, gears, or plates. Available in reed switch or Hall effect configurations, these sensors offer flexible solutions for proximity and position sensing. Reed-based sensors provide simple, low-power operation, while Hall effect versions offer dynamic, solid-state performance with zero-speed detection and enhanced durability. Ideal for industrial automation, safety systems, and heavy equipment, these sensors are available in various mounting styles and electrical outputs to suit diverse application needs.

Discover reed relays engineered with specialized features to meet demanding application needs. These relays offer benefits such as ultra-low power consumption, latching functionality, high insulation resistance, and other advanced capabilities tailored for precision, reliability, and space-saving designs.
Threaded housing sensors allow precise positioning and easy installation using lock nuts. Suitable for both Reed and Hall effect technologies, they are ideal for applications requiring adjustable sensing gaps.
Continuous level sensors provide real-time monitoring across the entire height of a fluid container. These sensors use magnetic reed switches mounted along a PCB, combined with resistors to generate discreet voltage outputs. As a magnetic float moves along the sensor stem, it activates multiple reed switches, enabling precise and uninterrupted tracking of fluid levels. Advanced models like the CLS and HLS series incorporate capacitive or Hall effect technologies for high-resolution, programmable outputs in harsh environments.
Relays engineered to handle voltages above 600V, providing safe and efficient switching for power systems, energy storage, and high-voltage instrumentation.
