Solutions for long-term support of Hall Effect Sensors
Hall Effect Sensors for Reliable Rail Operations
Hall Effect sensors are critical for accurate current and voltage measurement in rail systems. As trains operate for 30–50 years, maintaining reliability becomes challenging. Obsolescence of components like sensors can lead to costly redesigns and downtime.
The Challenge: Obsolescence & Operational Lifetime
Some manufacturers discontinue certain transducers over time, making replacements difficult to source. At Mors Smitt, we follow a different product strategy. Through proactive lifecycle management, we significantly reduce the risk of operational interruptions and ensure consistent system performance, helping operators maintain trains throughout their entire operational lifetime.
Our Solution for Long-Term Support
At Mors Smitt, we deliver:
• Over 300 sensor references for current and voltage applications • Dual sourcing strategies to secure long-term availability • Expert guidance on lifecycle planning to prevent obsolescence issues • Custom-made Hall Effect sensors with full interface compatibility
Performance Comparison: Mors Smitt vs. LEM & ABB
We conducted a comparison of our Hall Effect sensors against LEM and ABB products. The results show differences in reliability, performance, and long-term support, helping operators choose the best solution for maintaining trains over decades.
