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.

With its rugged industrial design and high power stability, the ZX10 is particularly suited for use in sensors, testing devices, and machinery. Setting new benchmarks in precision and reliability, it is a trusted choice for advanced machine vision systems.

• The BX2 Series of edge-lit backlights provides a highly diffuse source of illumination, packed within a thin and thermally efficient housing.
• The BX2 allows for configuration with polarization or collimation. A backlight configured with collimation is best suited for applications requiring a higher degree of edge clarity when imaging object silhouettes.
• This second edition of our edge-lit backlight series is more than twice as bright as previous BX and CX models.
• As with most planar backlight designs, this product is useful for edge detection, part location & orientation identification, presence & absence, hole detection and object gauging.

Reed proximity sensors use a magnetically activated Reed switch to detect nearby objects. They offer low power consumption, long life, and are ideal for applications requiring precise, contactless switching in compact spaces.

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.

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.
