Magnetic field strength position sensors use analog Hall effect technology to measure the intensity and polarity of magnetic fields with high accuracy. These sensors provide a voltage output proportional to the magnetic field strength, making them ideal for applications such as proximity detection, current sensing, and residual magnetism measurement. Available in fixed-gain and programmable models, they support a wide range of sensitivities and response times. With options for ratiometric output and internal voltage regulation, these sensors offer flexible integration into industrial, automotive, and electronic systems.
Key switch position sensors play a critical role in ensuring secure On/Off control for industrial and robotic systems. Unlike traditional mechanical switches that often fail in harsh environments, such as those with high humidity, chemical exposure, or dust. Our Reed Technology key switches deliver a robust, noncontact solution.
Engineered for exceptional durability and reliability, these sensors minimize costly downtime and maintenance. Backed by decades of magnetic sensing expertise, this innovative design guarantees long-lasting performance in the most demanding conditions.
- Measuring device to detect the twist/lay/pitch length of sheathed cables
- Measurements according to the standards LV212 und LV122
- The twist length of the sample is measured without removing the sheath → this ensures a precise measurement
- Traditional methods manipulate the sample (cable stripping or unwinding of conductors) → a precise measurement is not possible anymore
- Via a PC connection, the measuring results can directly be exported
- Fully automatic: By clicking one button, the measuring sensor automatically moves along the sample
Specialized relays for ultra-high voltage applications exceeding 1.5kV. Ideal for isolation in medical devices, renewable energy systems, and advanced industrial equipment.
The high frequency reed switch series is engineered for precision switching in RF and high-speed digital applications. These switches are optimized to handle signals from DC up to 7 GHz, making them ideal for use in telecommunications, computing, and advanced test equipment.
With nickel/iron leads offering high magnetic permeability, these reed switches deliver exceptional linearity across a broad frequency spectrum. Their compact form factor allows for high-density PCB mounting, and internal shielding ensures minimal electromagnetic interference, even in tightly stacked configurations.
These switches are commonly integrated into high-frequency reed relays for enhanced durability and performance.
- The DF242 is characterized as a Large Low Angle Dark Field ring light.
- Precisely aimed LEDs provide a very low angle of incidence, radial illumination pattern.
- A scratch on a sheet of glass is a good example of a defect that can be detected easily with a low-angle dark field illuminator.
- With a light intensity of 24kLux at a working distance of 1” (25mm), the DF242 is perfect for imaging problems with medium sized fields of view.
- A 35mm field of view is standard with optional fields of view of 45 and 70mm.
- Available in a range of wavelengths from UV to IR.
*Engineered to provide comparable optical characteristics to our previous RL1660.
Intrinsically safe reed relays and optocouplers are engineered for use in hazardous environments where ignition prevention is critical. Certified to ATEX standards and tested to ensure they do not become ignition sources, even in the presence of short circuits or adjacent component failures—these components are ideal for applications in explosive atmospheres such as mining, chemical processing, refineries, and power stations.
Designed to meet EN50020 safety standards, these relays and optocouplers feature tightly controlled air and creepage paths, high dielectric strength, and low-voltage coil inputs. With a maximum peak voltage of 375 V across input and output, and isolation distances up to 10 mm, they ensure safe operation under overload conditions. The Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) of the plastics used exceeds 175, and internal potting compounds provide additional insulation for long-term reliability.
