Dual Hall Effect Sensors

Optimize your Hydraulic Motors and Pumps

Xensors’ Dual Hall Effect Sensors provide sensing solutions in demanding ambient conditions, from concept to design or fitted on later to enhance control and steering of any hydraulic equipment or machinery.

Dual Hall Effect sensors can sense speed and rotation at the same time. The sensor output is a frequency signal on channel A and a 90° phase shifted frequency signal on channel B allowing the Quadrature signal to determine rotation.

Their small contact surface, diameters as small as 12mm, allows them to operate at very high pressures. Available in various configurations, Xensor fits your application.

Two digital output signals 90° out of phase to each other
Detecting speed down to zero
Direction, forward and reverse, of ferrous targets
Constant amplitude square wave output

Electronic Control Sensor

Optimize your Hydraulic Motors and Pumps

A world leader in state of the art electronic controls and products, contacted us to see if we could help them reduce assembly costs by modifying an existing sensor for a specific application of a customer of theirs.

We reviewed the requirement and determined the necessary modifications that needed to be performed, sent an outline drawing and provided samples the same day. Within the week we began producing the sensors to accommodate existing orders.

The new sensor saved time, eliminating material requirements, assembly and overhead. We take
pride in custom designed solutions from straightforward to sophisticated.

Hall Effect Examples

Combining Performance and Reliability

Linear Position Hall Effect Sensor

Installed inside the pressure vessel of a hydraulic accumulator to determine the position of a moveable target which provides accumulator charge condition data for optimal control and operation of hydraulic systems such as vehicular regenerative braking systems and generalized industrial accumulator systems.

Non-Contact, Dual Hall Position Sensor

Features high proximity switching rates that extend the flexibility and precision of pneumatic cylinder drives by enabling an exact determination of position. Excellent signal quality and flexible functions are essential in order to fully realize the advantages of decentralized automation structures for pneumatics.

Compatible to Most Control System Interfaces

Xensor Hall Effect Sensors are compatible with most engine monitoring systems and can be customized to specific requirements speed and direction applications.

Reel Speed Sensor

Used in the Automated Control Electronics (ACE) System for a Toro Commercial Greens Mower. The Electronic Control Unit controls and activates the hydraulic system of the machine by matching reel speed to traction speed.

Hall Effect Sensor

Used in a street sweeper. The speed sensor installed on the hydraulic motor delivers required information to an indicator on the dash-board by measuring the throttle position in the main engine of the truck, allowing the driver to keep the speed of the sweeper in the right band. The sweeper’s performance depends on the correct speed of the hydraulic motor.

Starting System Hall Effect Sensor

Used for plant startup and shut down operation of Gas Turbine Generators, Steam Turbines, Compressors, and Industrial Fan Applications. Durable and Reliable these speed sensors promote positive mechanical engagement and disengagement from the main drive train without the assistance of servos, or actuators.

High Torque Hall Effect Sensor

Attaches to the monitoring system of a drive gear for a high-torque motor, the housing is machined from 6061 billet aluminum and brazed to a special mounting flange which requires no orientation at installation, preassembled with mounting adapters for quick assembly. A customized solution built to performance specifications.
