Hall effect

Potential difference perpendicular to current in magnetic field

Hall voltage symbol

VHV_H

VHV_H relationship to magnetic flux density

Directly proportional

Hall sensor use: flux measurement

Measures magnetic flux density

Hall sensor use: rotation tracking

Monitors orientation/angle changes via flux component

Hall sensor use: location finding

Detects horizontal & vertical position of magnet

Hall effect tachometer purpose

Measures rotational speed

Tachometer signal analysis

Frequency of pulsed VHV_H indicates rotation speed

Hall tachometer speed limit

Over 100100 kHz

Hall tachometer advantage: contact

Non-contact, no additional friction
