Speed and reliability. Honeywell S&C offers electronic speed and position sensors designed for enhanced reliability and an extended life. Honeywell uses multiple technologies to detect a change in magnetic field and create an electronic signal for control system interface. These technologies offer the ability to detect speed, direction, or position of a moving ferrous metal or magnetic target. Sensing is accomplished without contacting the target, and there are no moving parts. This eliminates mechanical wear of the sensor or target. Honeywell offers a comprehensive line-up of Hall-effect, magnetoresistive, and variable reluctance sensors which provide electrical compatibility to most control system interfaces. We also offer a variety of sensor package types designed to enable mounting flexibility and wire harness interface compatibility. The Honeywell Speed and Position portfolio has been developed to support potential transportation and industrial customer application requirements.

You know us as a leader. Whether you’ve known us as MICRO SWITCH™ or Honeywell Sensing and Control (S&C). In 1968, we revolutionized the industry with the first solid-state keyboard combining Hall-effect sensing and associated electronics in a single circuit. Today, the Honeywell S&C family of magnetic position sensors includes digital and analog Hall-effect position, magnetoresistive digital, Hall-effect vane, gear-tooth, and Halleffect basic switches and magnets. These high-speed, extended life sensors are often directly compatible with other electronic circuits, responding to the presence or the interruption of a magnetic field by producing a proportional output. Gear-tooth and other packaged Hall-effect speed and direction sensors sense movements of a ferrous metal target. Digital and analog “sensor-only” devices are operated by a permanent magnet or electromagnet, while actuation mode depends on the type of magnets used. A vane passing through a gap or a magnet mounted on a plastic plunger operates integral magnet position sensors.
