Working Principle of Hall Effect Angle Sensors

The Hall effect is a physical phenomenon in which a transverse potential difference (Hall voltage) is generated in a current-carrying conductor placed within a magnetic field.

Hall effect angle sensors utilize this principle: a magnet, rigidly connected to a rotating shaft, creates a magnetic field. A Hall chip, fixed within the sensor housing, precisely measures changes in the magnetic field as the shaft rotates. These changes are converted into a precise electrical signal (analog or digital) proportional to the rotation angle.

Key advantages of this technology:

• Non-contact measurement (high reliability)

• High accuracy and repeatability

• Long service life

• Resistance to vibrations and contaminants
