Specific Sensor Models
Cherry offers various sensor models, each with unique features such as reverse battery protection, RoHS compliance, and zero power consumption. Examples include the MP1014 Series for door position sensing and the MP2007 Series with hermetically sealed contacts.
Magnetic Sensor Overview
This section details specifications and features of magnetic sensors like digital vane sensors and geartooth speed sensors, designed for industrial and automotive applications. They offer features such as moisture and dust immunity and mechanical wear resistance.
Key Sensor Types
  • Digital Vane Sensor (VN1015 Series): Offers moisture and dust immunity, suitable for robust sensing environments.
  • Geartooth Speed Sensors (GS Series): Provide near zero speed sensing and are used in CNC machines and industrial feedback control.
  • Angular Position Sensors (AN Series): Feature non-contact sensing and are used for throttle and valve position sensing.
  • Geartooth Speed and Direction Sensor (SD1012 Series): Offers speed and direction sensing with IP67 protection.
General Sensor Specifications
All sensors require an external pull-up resistor, and specifications may change, necessitating consultation of the latest data sheets. Sensors are designed for specific environmental and operational tolerances.
Additional Sensor Types
  • Hermetically Sealed Contacts: Used for door sensing, resistant to moisture and dirt.
  • Infrared Vane Sensor: Used for high-speed elevator floor level sensing.
  • ATEX Approved Sensor: Used in fuel dispensing pumps, with CE & ATEX approvals.
General Information
  • Airgap: Switching distance depends on sensor characteristics and materials.
  • ESD Sensitivity: Cherry Reed sensors are immune to ESD.
  • Connection: Sensors come with standard connectors or wires.
Magnetic Proximity Sensors
  • Hall and Reed Sensors: Hall sensors are solid-state with unlimited lifespan, while Reed sensors are electrically switched.
Geartooth Sensors
  • Speed and Direction Measurement: Cherry SD series sensors use Hall effect ICs for output.
Current Sink Interfacing
  • 3-Wire Sinking Interface: Used in negative logic applications, requiring an external pull-up resistor.
