Customer-Supplied Magnet Specifications
In the case of a customer-supplied magnet (for using the sensor configurations without the rotary arm), the recommended specifications are as follows:
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Material | Neodymium |
| Construction | Sintered |
| Diameter | 10 mm (min)¹ |
| Thickness | 4 mm (min) |
| Shape | Cylindrical |
| Field strength | Minimum: 300 G, recommended 600 G |
Note 1:
These specifications are recommended by the internal sensor manufacturer for ideal performance. Deviations from these specifications can allow for performance that is more than adequate but must be evaluated individually (e.g., rectangular magnets, smaller sizes, etc.).
Note 2:
If a bonded neodymium magnet is used, the recommended minimum diameter increases to 15 mm.
