Five typical applications of Hall effect sensors

Hall effect sensors can be widely used in five major industries: automotive and automotive safety, where both digital and analog Hall effect sensors are used in various applications.

Examples of applications of digital Hall effect sensors in the automotive industry include:

Sensing the position of seats and seat belts for airbag control

Sensing the angular position of the crankshaft to adjust the ignition angle of the spark plug

Some examples of using analog type Hall effect sensors include:

Monitor and control the wheel speed in the Anti lock Braking System (ABS)

Adjust the voltage in the electrical system

Electrical appliances and consumer goods

The home appliance and consumer goods industry integrates various types of Hall effect sensors in product design. For example:Digital monopoleSensors can help the washing machine maintain balance during the washing cycle.

Analog sensors are used as availability sensors for power sources, motor control indicators and shut-off devices on power tools, and paper supply sensors in copiers.

Fluid monitoring

Digital Hall effect sensors are commonly used to monitor flow and valve positions in manufacturing, water supply and treatment, as well as oil and gas process operations. In fluid monitoring applications, simulated Hall effect sensors are also used to detect the diaphragm pressure level in diaphragm pressure gauges.

Building automation

In building automation operations, contractors and subcontractors integrate digital and analog Hall effect sensors together.

Digital proximity sensing devices are commonly used in the following designs:

Automatic flushing device

Automatic sink

Automatic drying phone

Building and access control system

Elevator.

Analog sensors are used for:

Motion sensing lighting

Motion sensing camera

Personal Electronics

This is another field where analog and digital Hall effect sensors continue to be popular.

The applications of digital sensors include:

Motor control device

Timing mechanism in photography equipment

The applications of analog sensors include:

disc drive

Power protector
