Infineon Technologies North America Corporation
Infineon magnetic sensors are split into three subcategories: rotational speed sensors, Hall-effect switches, and position and current sensing. Rotational speed sensors are used in automotive applications like ABS, transmission management, and engine management, and available for 2- or 3-wire interfaces, as well as with or without direction detection and/or vibration suppression. The Hall switches are unipolar and omnipolar switches and bipolar latches that cover a wide range of applications, from position sensing to index counting. Features include voltage interface, 2-wire current interface, double latch for speed and rotation direction detection, and more. Finally, position and current sensing products start with linear Hall sensors, and end with GMR-based 360-degree angle sensors.

Phoenix America
Phoenix America carries magnetic speed sensors and magnetic proximity sensors. The former can be used to determine rotational speeds from 0 to 100 kHz with very high resolution, and in almost all industrial environments (e.g., dirt, grease, water splashes, etc.). They come magnet-actuated, gear-actuated, or variable reluctance. With similar environmental tolerances, proximity sensors determine the location or passage of a target moving up to 100 kHz with rapid response times. Operation methods include permanent magnet-, ferrous material-, and inductive material-actuation.

Sensor Solutions
Sensor Solutions manufactures non-contact magnetic sensors for the industrial, agricultural, solar energy, wind turbine, and related markets. They offer single-channel gear tooth speed sensors that use Hall effect technology to produce a digital output as gear teeth pass by the sensor, and Hall switch sensors and magnetoresistive switch sensors to determine linear and rotational speed, as well as direction and position, of targets. Single-channel target tracker gear tooth sensors, which send digital pulses in the presence of metal without the rotational alignment of a Hall effect sensor, can be used to determine speed on bolt heads, holes in gears, etc. In addition to these three options, Sensor Solutions offers more than a dozen others, include quadrature 2-channel gear tooth sensors, speed direction gear tooth sensors, speed direction quad gear tooth sensors, dual output Hall switch sensors, Hall latch sensors, and digital and analog ferrous metal detection sensors.
