The Hall Effect sensor only looks for a magnetic pole; it does not matter if it is north or south. Over the years, many machine builders have stopped using reed switches, due to their failure rate.

The AMR132x series includes AMR1320 and AMR1321 omnipolar omnidirection magnetic switches. Unlike most magnetic switch sensors that respond to magnetic fields along a single direction, these sensors ...

Also, reed switches are about half the price of their electronic counterpart, although the price differential is decreasing. On the other hand, Hall-effect devices react much faster than reed ...

Designed for pneumatic cylinder position sensing, the AMR1341 and AMR1342 omnipolar magnetic switches feature accurate switching points with low hysteresis, two sensitivity settings for different ...

AutomationDirect has added NITRA CPS9E series cylinder position switches which are compact general-purpose switches designed to detect the position of a pneumatic cylinder’s magnetic piston. This ...
