If you are not a mechanic, chances are that when you think of the engine of your car, it strikes you as one great mass of more tough little moving parts than you can imagine. One thing you would probably never consider is how heavily your car depends not only on pistons, axles, and belts, but intangible magnetic fields. Around every corner of the insides of your car, an analog hall effect sensor (such as those sold by Sensor Solutions) is keeping you safe out there on the road.
One example is in the fuel level indicator. It certainly helps to know when you're low on gas, or else you'd be in constant danger of running out and getting stuck or stranded. In many cars there is a conductor mounted at the top of the fuel tank that lines up with a magnet floating in the tank. The magnetic field between these points sends a Hall voltage which affects the needle in the gauge on the dashboard.
Meanwhile, your car may not start at all if not for the Hall sensors used in distributorless ignition systems. The Hall sensors there determine the position of the crankshaft and the camshaft. This information is interpreted by the car's computer, which signals the plugs to fire as soon as the sync-pulse of the engine is sensed. Without this information, your car's not going anywhere.
An analog hall effect sensor from Sensor Solutions is a reliable rotating speed detector that it is used to determine your car's RPM (revolutions per minute), and therefore also its miles per hour. This is the information displayed on the speedometer in the dashboard. When it comes to driving safely, this is probably the single most important bit of information you can have.
Yet no matter how fast you are going, it's important to know that you can stop safely. The analog hall effect sensor is also integral to modern anti-lock braking systems, sensing the speed of individual wheels as they rotate while driving. Visit www.sensorso.com to order one today.
