Sensors from s4sensors: Precision for Your Application
In modern industrial, automation, and measurement technology, sensors are indispensable components. They act as the "sensory organs" of technical systems by detecting physical or chemical quantities and converting them into an electrically processable signal. At alfatec, we understand the critical role that reliable and precise sensing plays in the success of your projects. That’s why we offer high-quality sensor solutions tailored to your specific requirements. Discover our portfolio and find the right product for your application.
Our Sensor Products at a Glance
Within this product group, alfatec focuses on highly-specialized, Hall-effect-based sensors from s4sensors:
Hall Sensors (Switches and Latches)
- These sensors detect the presence or polarity of a magnetic field.
- They provide a digital output signal (on/off), ideal for end-position detection, speed measurement (in combination with a pole wheel), or as contactless switches.
- We offer solutions for various voltage and temperature ranges to cover a wide range of applications.
Hall Position Sensors:
- The advanced s4sensors sensors measure not only the presence, but also the strength or direction of a magnetic field, thus enabling precise position, angle, or distance measurement.
- The output signal can be analog (voltage), PWM, or digital (e.g., SENT, SPI) - depending on the specific product and requirement.
- They are perfectly suited for demanding applications in automotive engineering, mechanical engineering, and measurement technology, where exact position data is needed over wide measurement ranges.
What are sensors and why Hall sensors from alfatec?
A sensor is a technical component that qualitatively or quantitatively detects certain physical or chemical properties of its surroundings. This measured quantity is then converted into an electrical output signal that can be interpreted by subsequent systems, such as controllers and measuring devices.
Selecting the right sensor depends significantly on the quantity to be measured, as well as the environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.), the required measuring range, and the necessary accuracy.
alfatec specializes in a particularly robust and versatile technology: the Hall effect. Our sensors from S4sensors are based on this principle and offer outstanding features for a wide range of applications:
- Speed measurement
- Current sensing
- Proximity detection
- Position detection (e.g., steering angle)
- Level measurement
- Joystick control
Technical Aspects and Advantages of our Sensors from S4sensors
Our Hall sensors and Hall position sensors are characterized by a number of technical advantages that make them the optimal solution for many challenges:
- Precision: High accuracy across the entire measuring range. The magnetically sensitive range is 5-844mV/mT.
- Reliability: Contactless measurement means no mechanical wear and a long service life.
- Robustness: Insensitive to dust, dirt, and moisture, with a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide variety of applications, from simple switching tasks to complex position measurements.
- Signal Integrity: Clear and stable output signals for reliable processing, with a bandwidth of 16kHz to 250kHz and a 3µs response time.
- Integration: Compact designs (with a supply voltage of 4.5 - 5.5V) facilitate integration into your system.
Whether you need a simple switching sensor or a high-resolution position sensor, you'll find the right product at alfatec. We'll help you configure the optimal sensor solution for your specific application, tailored to the required measuring ranges, temperature requirements, and desired output signal.

Our Partner for Sensors
s4sensors
s4sensors specializes in advanced Hall-effect sensor technologies. Their Backside-Hall technology is a significant advantage, as it allows the sensitive Hall elements to be placed on the side of the chip facing away from the magnetic field. This often leads to improved signal quality and robustness against external influences. S4sensors stands for innovation and quality in the field of magnetic sensors.
