More Product Information
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.
Exterior Bottle Mount Liquid Level Sensors offer a reliable and hygienic solution for monitoring fluid levels in sealed or transparent containers. These sensors attach externally, eliminating the need for direct contact with the fluid, ideal for applications where contamination, leakage, or internal access is a concern. With flexible integration options and compatibility across various container materials, they are well-suited for use in medical devices, laboratory equipment, food processing systems, and industrial fluid management. Their non-intrusive design ensures easy installation and maintenance while delivering consistent performance.
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.
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.
ATEX and IECEx certified optocouplers are designed for use in intrinsically safe circuits within hazardous environments. These solid-state devices provide galvanic isolation and signal transmission without becoming ignition sources, even under fault conditions. Ideal for industries such as oil & gas, mining, and energy, they offer high isolation resistance, fast switching, and long operational life in compact, rugged packages.
