Sensing and Control Product Portfolio
Product reliability. Industry knowledge. Expertise. Standard with every order.
With more than 50,000 sensing, switching, and control products ranging from snap-action, limit, toggle, and pressure
switches to position, speed, pressure, and airow sensors, Honeywell Sensing and Control has one of the broadest
sensing and switching portfolios available.
Airow sensors: Advanced microstructure
technology. Sensitive and fast response to flow,
amount/direction of air or other gas. Analog or digital
output. Thin-film, thermally isolated bridge structure
consists of a heater and temperature sensing
elements. May be used in: HVAC, respirators,
process control, oxygen concentrators, gas metering,
chromatography, leak detection equipment, medical/
analytical instrumentation, and ventilation equipment.
Current sensors: Accurate and fast response. Almost
no thermal drift or offset with temperature. Adjustable
linear, null balance, digital, and linear current sensors.
May be used in: Variable speed drives, overcurrent
protection, power supplies, ground fault detectors,
robotics, industrial process control, and wattmeters.
Flexible heaters: Flat, molded-to-shape, spiral
wrap, transparent, composite, and high temperature
configurations with single, multiple, and variable watt
densities. Can be bonded parts or combined. May
be used in: Airborne valves, outdoor cameras, LCD
displays, scanners, and telecommunication.
Force sensors: Variety of package styles and
various electrical interconnects including pre-
wired connectors, printed circuit board mounting,
and surface mounting for flexibility. May be used
in: Infusion and syringe pumps, blood pressure
equipment, pump pressure, drug delivery systems,
occlusion detection, and kidney dialysis machines.
Humidity sensors: Configured with integrated
circuitry. Provide on-chip signal conditioning with
interchangeability of ±3 % accuracy and out-of-the-
box reliability. Standardized, platform-based sensors.
May be used in: Air compressors, food and beverage
packaging and processing, HVAC, printing presses,
and office equipment.
Infrared sensors: IREDs, sensors, and assemblies
for object presence, limit and motion sensing,
position encoding, and movement encoding. Variety
of package styles, materials, and terminations. May
be used in: Printers/copiers, motion control systems,
metering, data storage systems, scanning, automated
transaction, drop sensors, and non-invasive
medical equipment.
Magnetic sensors: Digital and analog Hall-effect
position ICs, magnetoresistive position ICs, Hall-effect
vane, gear-tooth, and magnetic sensors. May be
used in: Speed and RPM sensing, motor/fan control,
magnetic encoding, disc speed, tape, flow-rate
sensing, conveyors, ignitions, motion control/detection,
power/position, magnetic code reading, vibration,
and weight sensing.
Position sensors: The SMART position sensor
measures linear or angular position of a magnet attached
to a moving object so that the object’s position can be
determined or controlled. Its simple, non-contact design
eliminates mechanical failure mechanisms, reduces wear
and tear, improves reliability and durability. May be used
in: valve position, material handling, plastic molding,
passenger bus level position, truck-mounted crane
outrigger position, aerial work lift platform, front loader
and digger/excavation boom position. Potentiometer
sensors measure linear, rotary position or displacement.
Honeywell’s proprietary conductive plastic delivers
extensive temperature range and infinite resolution, and
provides precision position measurement. May be used
in: robotic motion control, marine steering, and in-tank
level sensing. Ultrasonic sensors measure time delays
between emitted and echo pulses, often accurately
determining the sensor-to-target distance. May be used
in: level measurement, height and thickness sensing, and
diameter control.
Pressure sensors – board mount: Full line of industrial-
grade sensors: media-isolating design, multiple ports and
outlets, and electrical configurations. May be used in:
Pneumatic controls, air compressors, process monitoring,
hydraulic controls, VAV controls, clogged filter detection,
presence/absence of flow, and transmissions.
Pressure sensors – heavy duty: Small, allowing use
on their own in tight packages or as the building block
for a complete transducer. Developed for potential use
in pressure applications that involve measurement of
hostile media in harsh environments compatible with
316 stainless steel. May be used in industrial controls,
process control systems, and industrial automation.
Pressure transducers – heavy duty: Provide a complete
amplified and compensated pressure measurement
solution. Choice of ports, connectors, outputs and
pressure ranges, engineered to be resistant to a wide
variety of media for use in most harsh environments.
May be used in: Industrial HVAC/R and air compressors;
general system and factory automation pump, valve
and fluid pressure; and transportation (heavy equipment
and alternative fuel vehicles) system, pneumatics, and
hydraulics.
Proximity sensors: Designed to meet demanding
temperature, vibration, shock, and EMI/EMP interference
requirements. Number of housing materials and
termination styles. May be used in: Aircraft landing gear,
gun turret position control, and door/hatch monitoring.
Rotary position sensors: Digital and analog Hall-
effect, magnetoresistive, and potentiometric devices
and resolvers for sensing presence of a magnetic field
or rotary position. Directly compatible with electronic
circuits for application flexibility. May be used in: Audio
and lighting, frequency, temperature, position, medical/
instrumentation, computer peripherals, manual controls,
joysticks, telecom, welding, heating, and aerospace.
Speed sensors: Measure speed, position, and presence
detection utilizing magnetoresistive, variable reluctance,
Hall-effect, variable inductance, and Spiral technologies.
May be used in: Cam and crankshafts, transmissions,
fans, pumps, mixers, rollers, and motors.
